A poem.

I'll have an update about my vacation last week sometime tomorrow. The past week honestly has been hell--readjusting to real life, dealing with some bullshit drama, etc.
I wrote this poem the other day and it helped pull me out of the darkness. It's so far untitled.

I hope you enjoy it.

Your voice envelopes me—

            The warmth of the sun on my face,

            bright spots peeking through the clouds.

            A gasp of laughter escapes from my throat,
            my hand on your arm to brace myself from falling over
            (and to sneak a touch of your skin).

Your eyes pierce me—

            I can block out the sun but not your gaze.

            my face flushes,

my heart sprints,

my mind begins to wander…

I turn away in shyness.

Your arm wraps itself around my shoulders—

            We lay in the soft grass

            and dig our feet into the warm soil.

I never want this moment to end.

I rest my head on your chest and sigh,
            and silently suppress the tears that begin to form at the thought

of our eventual “goodbyes.”

           

Your laughter dances above my head—

            I feel on top of the world at the sound of it:

            the last sound I want to hear at night

the first thing I want to hear in the morning.
Only you can wrangle a smile from my lips.

            I smile and bask in the glory of this

most cherished accomplishment.

But your memory is all I have left to bask in now—

            And I am so cold.
