POEM STARTER
Feeling Known
Write a poem that could use this as its title or central theme.
Your memory, My thoughts
Little details, here and there.
Small conversations stuck in the air.
Late night talks and laughsโ
you remembered all of that.
Little details about me
no one knowsโ
you remember.
You remembered,
remembered how I write.
No one else does,
only you.
You remember how I hate certain things.
But the story doesnโt end there,
because now all I know is youโre slipping away.
Taking all my secrets, love, and passion away.
You slowly but surely pull away,
like any other day.
You were thereโ
then you werenโt.
Iโm your memory,
and youโre my thoughts.

Little details, here and there.
Small conversations, caught in the air.
Late-night talks, quiet laughsโ
you remembered all of that.
Little details about me
no one knowsโ
but you remember.
You rememberedโฆ
remembered how I write.
No one else does.
Only you.
You remember the things I canโt stand.
But the story doesnโt end there.
Because now all I know
is the way youโre slipping away,
carrying my secrets,
my love,
my passion with you.
You fade,
softly,
like the evening sky.
You were here.
And thenโ
you werenโt.
Iโm your memory.
And youโฆ
youโre my thoughts.
