Measures of Pain

  • PC 

One year, nine months, eighteen days
Since that night I cried and prayed
One year, nine months, fourteen days
Since you were taken from me
One year, nine months, ten days
Since I say you put beneath the earth
Two seconds
Since I last thought of you
Two milliseconds
Since I’ve missed you

Ten months, fifteen days
Since the afternoon I cried and screamed
Ten months, four days
Since you left me on this earth
Ten months, two days
Since I buried part of me
Two seconds
Since I last thought of you
No time at all
Since I’ve missed you
