Been Home One Day

the pain is still here,
deep in my chest,
it reminds me of it's presence every time i pull a deep breath of kentucky air,
but the pain has dulled.

i have medicine here.
stealing kisses all day as we christmas shop,
waiting for me outside of dressing rooms,
dropping me off at the door while he parks in the bitter cold,
his arms so tight around me as we sleep that i think he may not ever let go.

the pain is still here,

medicine numbs, not destroys,
and my soul still aches for something more -
a life worth sharing with someone so deserving.

i am searching.
he is waiting.
we are both hurting.
the pain is still here.
between us.
