Our Songs Echo in Familiar PlacesA Poem by Skylar LightenSo many songs and places remind me of you. And I miss you.I haven't been to your favorite places in a while, Yet they're still imbued with your perfect style. Your scent lingers in the air, a gentle wile,
Reminding me of moments that made us smile.
Joey's place, where we used to roam, Though I met him on the subway, now alone. He said I could visit, make it my own,
But without you, it feels like a borrowed home.
Ray and I caught up, reminisced for a while, But your absence echoed, a silent trial. I bought you these records, a thoughtful pile,
So you can remember me with every dial.
When you're far away, under a distant sky, Sing into the microphone, let your heart fly. On karaoke nights, let the memories amplify,
The songs that made our souls unify.
I wish I could stay here for a while Find ourselves again in a place that's already known © 2024 Skylar Lighten |
