Brain Memory 1./ My Boyfriend Died
The knots my stomach sustain
For comfort of a wound, I allow
To keep space as a reminder
I still have you, those couple
breathes before the monitor beeped;
What an obnoxious noise
Time of death echoes &
Repeats whenever I hear
And linger on this memory of mine
I fail to listen to your voice
With the message, you left
How fragile of me
I'm afraid that voicemail
Will be the last remembrance
I keep (like a secret) of you
that feels present
but so distant
The way your voice grips
And makes my hands sweaty
Calamity closes my throat
I dread the sentence
My boyfriend died
Because I can’t believe
You’ve split from me
