I’ve been having intense writer’s block recently and wasn’t sure what to post today so here’s a bit of poetry I wrote. Hope you enjoy.
The Grand Plaza of My One
I never knew how painful silence through our connection could be
Worse than a leg snapping in half like a twig
No amount of vodka nor Percocet can relieve this constant grief
Only the healing power of your angelic voice can set my body at ease.
A hollow, dark void is all that remains without your smile
The days seem to blur together like a never-ending nightmare
Time is a flat circle so everything feels the same
My only remaining constant is the North Star in the night sky.
I constantly flip through the photo album of memories in my head
The laughs, tears, vacations, sad movies, and sushi nights
Trying to pinpoint the exact moment where things changed
But that’s the funny thing about destiny.
I’m deep in the self-inflicted “music that reminds me of you” stage
Do you remember the time when we fell in love?
Do you remember the time when we first met, girl?
Of course, the calendar shows me it’s today.
Let me unplug myself so I can fully reboot
Remove the virus corrupting my internal systems
Absolve me of all of my sins
So I can be the best version of me for you.
I wish I knew what the future holds for us
I ask God for the answer every night
Maybe we’re not supposed to know yet
But believe me and have faith that All I Want is us.
Solidarity and 831 forever.
