The pain
First unbearable, unfathomable, unrelenting
Over long silent days
Over days of war
Unknowingly has settled in my bones
In every cell

My constant companion

It makes itself known
On days like this
Days of cold, and darkness
Days of war

When nothing good matters
Just that you're gone
Just that you're missed
Beyond measure

The pain
It returns unrelenting, unbearable, unwanted
Rising with the sun
In every drop of morning dew

In every cell
Aching, brooding, saddening

My constant companion

I wait, closing my eyes
Some battles won
Over silent hours
Turning into silent long days

Sirens screaming, bombs exploding
The sky is falling

But my heart, my mind
Goes to you
Each breath, each thought, each dream

Until I find you again
My angel
My daughter
My life
My love

My constant companion.

V.T.E
