Three words.
Three words that scare you when they're said
and scare me when they're not.
And I know October is the month for nervous hands
and jumpy hearts but,
memories are becoming ghosts
when they are supposed to be breathing.
My rib cage feels bare,
and my lungs feel cobwebbed.
I think this year I'll dress up
as a girl who knows what she's feeling.
"Memories are becoming ghosts
ReplyDeletewhen they are supposed to be breathing."
I feel this so deeply. Let's keep them alive. Let's not forget.
