DNA
You are ingrained in me
like a childhood memory
a part that seems as if it always existed
although I know it did not
my life ticks to the rhythm we created
even when you are not here
I brush lip gloss across the fullness of my bottom lip
and imagine your eye is captivated
I talk to you, when my head hits the sweet spot on the pillow
whisper sleepy words in your ear
run my nails against your baby head
wishing you could really feel it
hoping you know
with or without you
you are written into the blood that courses through me
the very blood that keeps this heart beating
day
after
day
like a childhood memory
a part that seems as if it always existed
although I know it did not
my life ticks to the rhythm we created
even when you are not here
I brush lip gloss across the fullness of my bottom lip
and imagine your eye is captivated
I talk to you, when my head hits the sweet spot on the pillow
whisper sleepy words in your ear
run my nails against your baby head
wishing you could really feel it
hoping you know
with or without you
you are written into the blood that courses through me
the very blood that keeps this heart beating
day
after
day
