You’re not here,
Sitting on the bed with me,
Taking your hit and yapping.
But the air still hums,
Like you just left.
And i’m laughing again,
Complaining about something,
You made a joke.
And i have a reassurance in the back of my mind,
Saying,
“You're safe with this, its forever”
But it isn’t.
It feels like it will never change,
But it does,
Having to leave,
And no one told the air,
To forget about you.
For context, no this isn't about love.. the inspiration was the loss of a brother through divorce. my mom remarried and i gained an older brother (i refuse to call him a step sibling) but then they divorced and we had to cut contact.
