working through the emotions after he says "goodbye"

I want him to miss me ... 

I want his insides to ache 

from the lack of my touch 

I want it to be him that 

cries himself to sleep because 

of that word... 

good-bye 

I want his stomach to curl 

into knots every time he 

hears my name from someone 

innocent 

Or have his hands shake because 

he happened to read my name 

in the newspaper 

I want his body to crave how 

we used to sleep together, 

for him to feel the sheets of ice 

beneath his body instead of 

our heated passion 

I want his arms to reach 

and find a pillow brings only 

fluff against his chest instead 

my fingers... 

which once inscribed my name 

upon his heart 

I want him now to feel 

those same fingers reaching 

through that same chest... 

nails digging in and gripping, 

making him bleed 

the same way he 

bled me...
