[KCBUTCH]

Haunted by what remains...this city, these places the walls scream her name
6.5 years of a life built for two disappears in a breathe of love forgotten through distance between us.
Intimacy gone - I guess that happens when you're thousands of miles away from each other
You had to work I get it, but what was left behind was the story of US
knowing it is for the best and meant to be - avails me nothing when my heart cries out for you-is it you? Or the idea of you?
Picking up the pieces, moving on, stumbling...
Days go by silent with progress, then in the quiet the memory sneaks in and rips out my breath. The tears then flow with a deep ache from my gut, I CRY OUT "MAKE IT GO AWAY, someone, please..."
I crawl up onto the floor with my dog-I long the warmth of contact I long to be held to be heard, comforted.
50 days gone by 50 days with ME.
