On This Day...

They tell me it's your birthday.

As if this day didn't resonate inside my bones.

Notified,

Memories refreshed by a sorrow-less pulse.

An electronic reminder,

Incapable of understanding

How twisted is the knife fate aims at our hearts.

Paths carved through the ones we love.

The ones we lose.

How lonely I feel

Your face on a screen.

The ghost in the wires

At the tips of my fingers,

Forever out of reach.
