Missing...

I’ve learned I am forgetful
without you here to
remind me
of the day to day things
like taking my pill every morning
getting enough sleep
or visiting the doctor when I should.

It’s been many weeks
since I remembered
to take the small
blue pill
that balances
chemical reactions
and levels inside.

At my next doctor’s visit
when they run their tests
placing my blood under a microscope
they will notice my routine has changed
and nothing is balanced—
that something is missing
right down to the composition of my cells

but only I know
what is really missing.

on a more practical note, SMTWThFS pill boxes near my tooth brush kept me from ever getting pregnant. except for that week where i kept forgetting to brush my teef.... close call.
