I miss the sun
and its warm glow
the way it seeps
into my skin
and I can close my eyes and live.
I miss the air
how it slowly
brings me into
the light, lifts me
and lets me be still, and just breathe.
I miss the sky
always empty
yet so, so full
the way it holds
so many lives but is so still.
I miss you too.
I felt so safe
when you smiled and
when you held me
and I’ll never forget that warmth
but I was never truly safe.
