A dark memory

they text me
to tell me the news
they were sorry
text me
to say my sun had gone
to tell me my
source of light
and sunshine
my warmth
my closest friend
was no longer mine
you were gone.

my phone beeped
fucking beeped
I read the tiny black words
a fucking machine told me
my world had changed
part of my heart collapsed

I miss you constantly
I ache and freeze
it's like I am forever
reading that text everyday
it's breaking me
over and over

they text me
to tell me
you died.
