nearly your birthday
but you’re not here
no wishes are coming your way
*
I think of all the things you are missing
*
like family and friends
and sunshine and rain
and covid-19
*
I want to put you back together
so I can slap you senseless
tell you how much you were loved
and that you left for nothing
*
those voices told lies
*
a defiant scornful laugh
in the face of much pain
get the hell out of my dreams
*
I’m still angry
with you
*
