𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐌𝐒 : 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋 𝐓𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒

I write stories with people in my life as characters.
It's my only way of holding on to them;
Because one stays forever.
No one ever has.

I write their characters in to love me,
It's inevitable, as I've realised —
I know that they will eventually leave.
Eternity is a scam, and forever is a lie.

I don't write them to be the sidekicks,
I make them the wondrous main leads.
Maybe that way, next time my brain will be tricked
Into thinking they're great as they currently seem.

Even when they leave, I cling on to memories
Of late night talks and comfort, excitement, and joy
The confidence they once gave me
To cut off undeserving boys.

I set the pen to paper
And let my tears write the words
Then turn the page over
And see the imprints of the previous chapter.
