take this an an admonition
i will serve as a reminder in
everything around you

your room - now a prison cell
my abandoned items
littering every shelf
my paintings cemented
to your walls

you’ll hear my voice
circulating with the wind
i’ll become synonymous
with rainy days

you’ll see me in every season
every errand you run
every song you hit on shuffle
lucky you, it’s almost as if i never left
