My Tiny Surfer Boy

 You were once a mold I would contort and bend my body into

Breaking any bones necessary for you. 

Now all I feel when I see you is deep

Deep

Pity.

I don't recognize her

It used to feel a lot more personal. I would recount the days in the beginning when I lost you, The days in the middle when I wasn't sure if I had you, And there would be a plunder in the middle of my chest.  I could remember my fingers itching for a bottle, My head spinning with calculated assumptions,  My heart falling to the pit of the stomach.   I used to see it through her eyes - my eyes.  I try to mentally revisit those days - Remember when the epitome of my existence was you, When all I wanted was to call those arms my home.  But I can't.  They feel like stolen memories.   She doesn't even feel like me.  Instead of looking through my eyes, I am looking through a mirrored window, My soul watching my body take on the actions of another person.
