POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
While chasing your ghost, I became one myself.
Did You Ever Care?
I lit your flame up.
You blew mine out.
It was 9.pm waiting around for your text
To come.
It never did.
Pacing around my room all night.
Praying you would respond.
Waking up early trying to make myself look like your type.
Changing myself.
Looking at you in the halls.
Hoping you would look back.
Hoping one day you would turn around to call my
Name.
Trying so hard just to be the girl you want.
But I never was.
And in the end while chasing your ghost I became on myself.
Changing myself completely.
Now I don’t even know who I am anymore. Was it ever worth it?
