Poetic Text: Always, everyday Pt 1

I haven’t really written anything in the past while and I don’t know if maybe that’s the reason I’ve been feeling so devastated by the state of my life right now or visa versa. I did however sit at home, sick, on Tuesday and pulled out a pencil and a note pad, the results were something long and I’m not even sure what to call it.
In attempts to keep the two loyal readers of this blog, I am going to put up in about 4 sections once a week (trying not to overwhelm anyone with the random ramblings of a partially delusional woman) the scribblings from Tuesday.
Here’s the first bit.  I’ve called it “Always, Everyday” and for the purposes of this blog I shall call it a poem.  Hope you like it.

Your absence is cruel and unusual punishment
As though God were upset with me for having forgotten to say my morning prayers
I die…
Always, everyday
I don’t see you
I cry…
Always, everyday
I don’t feel you think of me

I’m falling
Always, everyday
with every sound you make
Step you take
the smell of your breath
The feel of your face
The slightly awkward obsession you have with Kwaito music
Always, everyday
I’m giddy, goofy and giggly
It’s the bite
the little bits of you that fall off
sit easy amongst my many me’s
and build a fire to keep the both of us warm
