Hello Prolly Mar 2019
17
It's when 17
feels like 70
not the wisdom
not the count of teeth

but the way
friends passing away
shrivelling body
drying soul is what you feel

In the cold sun
at the bottom of the day
I think you think
I saw you there
when young feels like old
when I feel you

It can't rain all the time
Where will all the water go?
It will rain sometimes,
And you will get drenched,
Drown maybe; But,
The sun will shine,definitely
'cos you still breathe.
And the water will ebb
Slowly,
Not as you wish,
Swiftly,
For it is in your memory,
Permanently.
But you will smile
'cos the sun will shine
Even for you.

I want your whispers to echo and bounce off the curves of the goosebumps you give me when you tell me you’d be lost without me. I want the ghosts of your fingertips to trace my body awake each morning, and put me to sleep each night. I want the memories of you to tiptoe around my brain, carefully.. trying not to trigger me, but every once in awhile I want you to let them creak the floorboards causing a few dishes to fall out of my memory cabinet and crash to the floor of my heart. I want you always, I want you to haunt me.
Not the best but I can't stop thinking. I need time to really sit down and write some good things.

— The End —
