Earth still turns and everything changes
while I stay the same wishing for stillness.
Your departure left me still, broken,
being begged to keep pushing past summer.
We shared the same eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
The same humor, laugh, and goofy smile,
yet; I haven’t done that in a while.
Looking in the mirror and seeing hints of
you is a pain no medicine can heal.
I miss you like summer is missed in the
midst of winter, but neither has felt
the same since you’ve been gone.
I stay still and pray the memories
I managed to memorize do not fade,
the snowball fights with smiles that
shined brighter than a perfect winter wonderland, or
the sandcastles that you never let fall down.
Your departure left me broken, still.
As summer rays begin to fade the frost creeps in
dragging helplessness alongside it.
Stuck in the dead of summer,
scared to keep going, without you.
