Living half in memory stitched with fragile thread. Waiting on replies to pledges never said. Held the hands of storms, drunk on joy and fear. Kissed through rain, like lovestruck fools when endings felt too near. left some names behind, held a few too close, one who lit the match, one who loved us most.

Names I Kept
Living half in memory stitched with fragile thread. Waiting on replies to pledges never said. Held the hands of storms, drunk on joy and fear. Kissed through rain, like lovestruck fools when endings felt too near. left some names behind, held a few too close, one who lit the match, one who loved us most.
Continuing my "flash 55' obsession. - a poem in exactly 55 words. It was inspired by https://hellopoetry.com/poem/5119935/while-pouring-coffee/ a brilliant poem by Shay Caroline Simmons.
