Poem // The Locket

I wear the locket because it contains a portion of you,
just a tiny amount of hair groomed in the goodbye.
Has it really been four years? Time flies without you.

Every day I put it on but not every day I think of you,
and I feel guilty but one has to set aside to carry on.
In some ways, on some days, I am lost without you.

for Dolly.
