You were gone too suddenly For me to be sad You went in a hurry And you left Some of yourself with me Your hair is still here Floating lazily Tangling, twisting, clumping Golden pillows Hugging dust bunnies Strings that twist and tangle But never unwind And perhaps they are broken or cut, But the knots remain, Proof that there was once a connection Solar strands steal into cracks Crevasses now filled with memories shedded Lost perhaps But still present Like the sun on a cloudy day You’re stuck to my sweaters and socks Coating me in gold leaf Twenty-four karat nostalgia Priceless, hugging closely A subtle weight on my heart The house is quiet now But still warm Still dusty and grimy Just as you had left it Because I don’t vacuum anymore

Part of You
You were gone too suddenly For me to be sad You went in a hurry And you left Some of yourself with me Your hair is still here Floating lazily Tangling, twisting, clumping Golden pillows Hugging dust bunnies Strings that twist and tangle But never unwind And perhaps they are broken or cut, But the knots remain, Proof that there was once a connection Solar strands steal into cracks Crevasses now filled with memories shedded Lost perhaps But still present Like the sun on a cloudy day You’re stuck to my sweaters and socks Coating me in gold leaf Twenty-four karat nostalgia Priceless, hugging closely A subtle weight on my heart The house is quiet now But still warm Still dusty and grimy Just as you had left it Because I don’t vacuum anymore
Shoutout to my dude, Sparky. The best boy I'll ever know.
