Poetry pt. 4 ٩( ᐛ )و

Siblings from time 

You are all my siblings, even those who say they are only children

Don’t you know your lying to yourself, 

silly kids, 

for that is what we are, 

children

Your lives have been spent with all of us 

and we all have loved each other

 grown inside each others hearts like popcorn that we beg for

 and flowers that we plant

We are running in the hall and through each others ears and minds for days on ends

And I could never know spending my whole life here but I do know that my life is here this is the place I will mourn for when our love slowly gets thinner 

But we are a loved sweater that you recognize a person with

Like a headband or yellow sneakers 

And when I say good bye it will be like the thorns that I burst through from wolves and caribou 

I have learned no greater lesson from this place that no matter how different we could be you are all still my complementary colors 

We work off each other to build a better home and now we must do that to the world

Dear fishsticks

I think it’s taken me a bit 

To fully realize your gone

It came to me one day

But foggy, slowly, 

as one day hidden can be seven

Many days of seven you’ve been gone

But late at night I still stalk the internet 

Searching for the clues

You forgot to leave behind

When you left in a silent heat

I don’t need your apology

And I don’t want to talk again

But do you remember the summers? 

Boat kisses and cooking classes

Are the only letters you left behind

When you left in a storm

Now I’m left to watch the rain

I love you, by the way

Not like it’s an afterthought

But I thought I would remind you 

Not that you need reminding 

But sometimes I think you do

You and me and him and her 

Every interaction swirls

You’ve given me a beautiful world

Just thought I would tell you

I love you, by the way
