❛ you didn’t miss me, not even a little? ❜
ANGST FOR SHIPS SENTENCE PROMPTS . » accepting.
✝ ———- it has grieved , mourned like a child with swollen eyes and trembling lips , with weak knees and aching bones , facing loss for the very first time . but he’s missed her before she was gone , when she was far and when she rested by his side . it’s shed tears without knowing why , anguishing over what never belonged to him . and the lies she’s fed him didn’t sate the beast , didn’t nourish the boy , and never made its stomach feel anything other than hollow . it was not until long after her departure , it noticed that hole in its belly . that gaping wound tearing all the way into his soul , that no surgery could mend . but no matter , it still reaches for her in the dark , classical pavlovian conditioning , it reaches like one reaches for their missing limb , victim of the same gut - wrenching disappointment as it finds nothing tangible to hold .
❝ did you ? did you miss us ------ did you miss me ? ❞ faintly it’s inquiry become murmurs , susurrations of self - reflection & waking insecurities -------- it sighs . so distant then , dissipating in thought ; it knows the answer , even if she won’t give it to him . what a pity , it often feels as though that cage he so desperately wishes to flee , is made by the very same hands that now comfort her . ❝ i’ll always miss you , mother . but it matters no more now than it did then . ❞
