My Ghost Friend (snippet)

September 13th, 2023: My Ghost Friend 

Lately, I’ve been thinking of the way a person’s face can become murky in one’s mind

I try and remember what your face looks like but all I feel is a faulty current running through my brain 

I notice the empty space when I get home 

A space that was once filled with conversation 

I try and fill it up with a show 

I try and breathe some more

One day I know I won’t feel that feeling anymore 

Time is kind to us like that
