For the twin I never knew
You were taken from me before we were born
and so I floated and grew alone in a room for two dreaming of moons and sunlight
What are you if you are a twin,
but never had the chance to be one?
I'm half of a whole made up of two people
but now I am all of what is left,
with a ghost
hidden in my peripherals
Sometimes I feel I am the moon,
the moon and lunar tides
which means you must've been the sun and shores
to tie me to the earth
Because when I am alone, you are the phantom beside me reminding me of warmth,
and you are the unexplained loss I feel
standing in the sun
I had a twin brother who died in the womb.
