She’s lived here
most of her life
She never thought
that would change.
But now she's
drowning
in goodbyes,
walking
out the door,
hoping
it doesn’t lock her out.
There’s so much
to say
to do
to confess
to love
to appreciate
to miss
yet so little time.
Time passed by
like a fallen leaf in the air,
whisked
away
By the harsh winds.
Time
Moves on
even if you don’t.
But as time moves on,
as the days are whisked away,
our group
won’t ever
be the same
without her.
There are many moments
Where I don’t feel
Deserving
Of the attention
Today I’m reminding myself
Of how far I’ve come,
All the years I’ve spent
Living in pain
I’ve kept every card I’ve ever received
For as long as I can remember
People fade in and out of your life
Eventually lost in the past, forgotten
I read their letters after sunset
“Why didn’t you ask for help?”
When I didn’t write for weeks
I was asking for help
When I stopped smiling
When I stopped laughing
When happiness became fake
