sometimes
the short poems
are the hardest
to write
change one word
and the whole poem
avocados.
-atticus
another day goes by
where i barely think of you,
and i wonder
if i miss you
or if i miss
the version of myself
who died
when i lost you.
but then
i see another one of your ghosts
-someone with bleach-blonde hair at the grocery store,
and my heart stabs itself
on the memory of your
i love yous.
i keep reminding myself
that i am allowed
to grieve someone
still walking around
if she’ll never again
walk into my life,
instead
forever treading
on my
guitar picks.
Please spare my fingers 😭🧡

Gahhhhh you beautiful human. Your words literally make me feel like the world is falling into shape- you manage to take the most complex and intense feelings/experiences and shape them into something…if not beautiful, whole. I’m not sure this makes sense, but the sentiment I’m often left with at the end of your pieces is: “There it is.”
