The subtle ache from deep within
Reminds me that I am not quite whole
A piece of me was cut away
And now I feel oddly empty
As if I have bits floating inside
That no longer belong
Dull pain, comes and goes
And I bend with caution
As if pieces of me will just fall out
Leaving me emptier than I was before
While my heart is still full of love
My body finds itself lacking
In strength, perhaps fear holds me back
From healing, fear and my constant need
To be busy unable to just rest and let time
Bring me back to my feet
