When something’s different from before
Simple, yet hard
When present becomes just a memory
Simple, yet hard
When something goes from being to unbeing
Simple, yet hard
What makes tears become an ocean
Hard for me,
Tough,
Difficult,
but more.
Swallowing up the love
Things that are loved,
Loved by me.
Replaced by something that doesn’t stand quite as tall,
Leaving the space feeling
Empty.
