"steemit" poems
After days of sleep and always staying indoors I stepped outside then the rain began to pour The irony, I thought.. I looked up at the sky and yelled “Anything more?!” The raindrops began to hit the pavement What a strange scent, the cold rain on hot cement I already committed to going out I couldn’t go back now But back inside my shelter I went I didn’t have an umbrella or raincoat I wanted to go back on steemit, read articles and upvote Scroll through that one tab on the front page, called promote But I’ve already committed on going out today, I even jotted it down on my “to do” note So I got my car keys, jean jacket and phone I started to drive to some place new, unknown My first instinct was to start driving to visit her Bring flowers and say hi to her gravestone I fought my urge and went towards the coast Radio on low, I thought about what I missed most I parked on a hill overlooking the ocean “Torrey Pines” it said on the signpost I followed a walkway that was paved with stones It was nice to be outdoors on my own I kept wanting to stay indoors and postpone accepting life without her soft skin, gold hoops, french cologne fragile bones Worst part about it is I lost my best friend It's devastating, I'm not going to pretend my world is shattered but they keep telling me, “time will mend”
