i got second place <3 _________ tw death // hi! i wrote this in 10 minutes on a random spurt of creativity.. it’s about someone who still feels their deceased lover with them so it’s quite sad - i do actually have a sister poem with the same title from the other person’s pov , ask for the link if you want lol idea + writing by @taylorsversion-- (me) writing style inspired by sarah crossan (she uses poems to tell a story) __________ gone but not forgotten: 260 words she pulls me in her grasp and we fall laughing on the soft grass . i watch her and think i’ve never been happier the sky is vast, unlimited full of stars shining brightly and next to me is the brightest star i know a smile still playing on her lips i sigh contently as we look up and watch the stars for a long time. when my eyes open she is gone like she was never here in the first place, and my chest tightens with sadness and for some reason grief but after a while i sit up and there she is sitting on the branch of a tree grinning widely , waving i wave back , glad . i missed her. we walk down the path together and she points out the lake the trees the clouds and i listen glad to hear her voice glad to not be alone i get into the car and she is gone - again. there is no sign of her now , and the helpless feeling returns and some sort of pain comes with it so i start the engine and i am off , driving down an endless road by myself but she is still there talking to me right ? when i arrive , my shoes crunch on the gravel i hold flowers for her my lover adores flowers. i place them down next to her grave turn , and leave in my mind , she comes with me and i am not alone.
