My Poem:

I still remember you.

I remember your touch,your smile

,your strange love of jam,

The way you never failed to make me laugh.

Before you i was a marionnette

Letting mother pull my strings

Never thinking for myself.

With you i was a stow away

Waiting to be caught by the enemy.

You told me not to cringe

Under my mothers talon.

You gave me gifts.

Never expensive but they meant the world.

An octopus shaped rock is still my favorite.

You laughed and said it’d give me powers.

The sound of your laughter warms me,

Happiness watches over me.

I was falling in love.

When did i stop thinking,

“Love kills slowly.”?

I remember when we layed on the rug

Next to your chimney,

As the soft strums of your guitar

Lulled me to sleep.

Your words were soft and shy

Like you’d startle me if you got too loud

“I love you.”

9:05. 6 months,2 weeks and six days

Since that day we met

Since the day you lit a torch in my heart.

I don’t want to remember that winter,

And how bitter my tears tasted,

As you lay limp in my arms.

Its strange to think your gone now,

But i hope you save me a seat.

One next to the campfire, under gods stars,

So you can again tell me the names of every single constellation.
