I am forgetting your voice.<\/p>\n
I dont have it captured anywhere.<\/p>\n
I kick myself for that<\/p>\n
All this technology<\/p>\n
Buzzing<\/p>\n
Brain melting stuff<\/p>\n
and I never thought to record your voice<\/p>\n
I remember my aunt used to record Christmases when we were little<\/p>\n
I want to comb through the pile of tapes and find you<\/p>\n
Hold you again<\/p>\n
If only with my ears.<\/p>\n
I could close my eyes and hear your voice<\/p>\n
Run my hand down the path you always ran down my cheek<\/p>\n
Pretend it was you there<\/p>\n
Comforting me like you would have<\/p>\n
Pretend it was your thumb on my cheek and not my own.<\/p>\n
When I could curl up at your feet and put my head in your lap, forever 10years old.<\/p>\n
How do I do these things without you?<\/p>\n
Get married?<\/p>\n
Have babies?<\/span><\/p>\n Who am I going to call for help when the baby wont stop crying?<\/p>\n How can I be a mother…<\/p>\n Without mine to show me how???<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I run my thumb down my tear stained face.<\/p>\n Pretend its yours again.<\/p>\n Try and hear you.<\/p>\n Silence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am forgetting your voice.
