All I Ever Knew Poem by Manna Wilcox

My shirt unbuttons
Reminders of you stay fresh
Dreams
Wake me in the morning,
when the sun rises again.
It's frightening when all I know
falls apart.
And all I know is you.
Hunger squeezes me tighter.
Ashtrays fill with sleepless nights.
Weeping intensifies my anxiety.
Can tomorrow come without you...
here today?
The cheap chandelier falls on my face.
The rose filled vase explodes in my hands.
Pain is unrecognizable Because
All I ever knew was you.
