Thirty Seconds

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.
