Art

Reading ‘Pride and Prejudice in the living room, Sneaking into the art room - jumping for joy when you Came through a doorway, Braiding hair, baking meringues, spending summers together Talking about college and change, Comfort in your hugs taking the pain and stress, Transforming it into art. Until visits to home changed into a tree with flowers below, The soft, leather couch becomes the cold grassy ground. Loving goodbyes become an eternal wish for one more conversation Comforting hugs turned a memory, cold feelings robbing the peace. Hiding tears at your memory, forgetting the pictures In a hope to halt the growing pain in my soul. Praying for a minuscule second of comfort, To be returned with the art of sorrow The art that could never be as beautiful as hers.
