Emily Mitchell

“this loss
feels like
an ache
between my ribs

it’s sad
and scary

but soft
and steady

it’s always there
humming loudly
beneath it all

beneath it all

sometimes
it rests
and
just whispers

ssshhhhhhhh

it only takes
one
moment
of missing you
to make it roar”
― Emmy Marucci, Tell Me Another Story: Poems of You and Me
