Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends! 🙂
I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!
I have been thinking a lot about my friend, Natalie, who passed away (when I was 16 years old). I know it sounds like a long time ago, but I have carried her with me. I have looked for her spirit in others and have been visited by her in many dreams. I had a recent dream about her, and it sparked the creation of this poem.
~Poetry is NOT dead!~
Thinking of Natalie
you live inside my imagination
we dance inside my mind
it feels just like yesterday
when I gazed into your eyes
.
my memories of you are vivid
I can still hear your soothing voice
they say I need to let you go
but do I have a choice?
.
you have been with me for so long
how can I walk away?
how can I convince myself you’re gone
when you help me get through the day?
.
it’s unhealthy for you to stay
.
many may not understand
living with a supernatural friend
it’s easier to get caught up playing pretend
and difficult to know how to draw the line
.
Sometimes I can’t get you out of my mind
.
thinking back to a former time
when we were young and full of life
so carefree, somehow thinking that
we would never die
.
of course, it was a lie
.
I’ll never forget that horrific night
when I got the phone call that changed my life
hearing that you had run out of your time
I wanted to crash my car and die
.
I remember sitting under a bush outside
I could smell the needles
as I tried to hide
I told God I didn’t want to be alive
.
still, to this day, I haven’t said goodbye
I can move forward and start to try
and I’ll stop asking and wondering why
you didn’t remain in my life
.
if I let you go, will I have more peace within?
or will the emptiness be too much to bear
if I ask you to leave, will you come back again?
or will your spirit always be near?
.
~Thanks for reading, and until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!~
