POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

While chasing your ghost, I became one myself.

Obsession and Loss.

I cling onto the idea of someone harder than I cling to the actual person.


Please don't leave me.


I've put you on too high of a pedestal, I don't want to watch you fall.


Obsess, Overthink, Cry, Repeat.


I am not my own person.


I'm you. I'm my friends. I'm everyone around me.


If you leave, I'm stuck with reminders of you in how I act.


I'll change. I'll be what you want me to be.


I can be whoever you see me as.


Just please don't leave.


I'll put on the makeup. I'll lose the weight. I'll wear the pretty dresses.


Just stay.


Don't.. leave.


Please.


I can't bear your absence.


Not when your hoodie sits in my bed every night.


Not when you linger in my dreams, telling me things I could only wish to hear.


Why am I like this?


Why can't I change?
