PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

An unfortunate truth, this.

I try to protect my skin from all the salt.

I try to hyperventilate you closer.

I try not to think about

the maybes

that will turn me to an ocean.

Saltwater doesn’t remind me enough of home.

Silly me.

I miss birthday cakes.

I miss things I didn’t know I had.

But then

autumn falls

instead of my face,

I step on leaves

instead of your heart,

something sparks inside.

Wednesdays are a jack in the box.

It is just when you think

nothing’s going to happen

that it does.

I remember I am happy much more than

I am sad

and aren’t those the moments

we need to remember?
