My Sorrow, Yours To Keep

Not super sure on where the inspiration for this poem has come from, but I’ve been working on a few new projects recently so my writing mind has been prickling with new ideas. Hopefully, I’ll have some more concrete answers for you guys soon–but, until then, here’s a sad little poem for you to ponder. Enjoy!

My Sorrow, Yours To Keep

The ghost of your touch
is a tear, slow, belonging to me.

You’ll never understand, but God–
God, I wish you could.

I can name every star
and now you have one, too.

It isn’t your fault,
but my sorrow belongs to you.
