The Weight Of You Poem by Rose Tyson

The Weight Of You

Rating: 3.5


When people ask how I'm doing
I just shrug my shoulders
because how could I describe this
not-quite heartbreak
of almost missing you.
I'm not crying anymore,
but I can still feel the
inexorable emptiness
in that part of me
where you should be.
I'm not falling apart,
but I can still feel your
loss weighing down
upon me,
as if I'm buried beneath
several tons of dirt
but still breathing.
