Ode, To Lost Poems
The smell of your paper.
The smudge of the ink on your crinkled edges.
The words I scrawled on your surface
You knew all of my secrets.
And I knew you wouldn't have told a soul.
You had a home in my backpack.
You lived there.
Day in and day out.
I took you out occasionally,
Making sure you were okay.
One day,
I left you out too long.
Right in plain view.
She came in
And Snatched you up.
And with a blink of my eye,
My whole world had disappeared
But you, you knew I would be okay.
I've tried remembering you.
But I couldn't.
My mind
was not capable of remembering
Your beauty.
You left too soon.
I can still feel your presence.
You make me keep going.
I know someday,
I will write something
That will hopefully come close to you.
