dead moment

Moments slip away

faster than I'd like them to.

Moments I could hold onto forever

moments I would hold onto forever

if I were given the chance.

 

Although memories are forever,

I wish the moments could last

just a little bit longer.

 

The surrealness I experienced

just less than a week ago

is stuck

and I'm still comprehending

an unforgettable,

amazing,

surreal

moment

that has now turned into

only a memory.

 

I would have stayed in that moment for eternity

and let it capture me endlessly.

Two minutes

can feel like a lifetime

when they're so surreal

you can barely feel it.

 

I lived in this moment

which became more unreal by the second

unable to comprehend what was happening.

 

I leave

still processing

still reminiscing

wishing I was still there.

 

And days later

I'm still grieving a memory

that I wish could have lasted

just a little bit longer

in the moment.

    Sometimes words fall out senselessly,

    no meaning attached.

    But because they want to,

    has control over me,

    writing whatever comes

  • relatable silence

    It's that time of year again

    where some "news" are formed

    and some "olds" are forgotten.

    The faces of friends

    become familiar again,

    while last year's math formulas

    do not.

    We come together
