Poem: “Someday, I’ll Write About You”

Someday, I’ll write about you. 

I’ll do that magical thing that can turn dead hearts into poetry

And resurrect sweet memories.

I’ll store nostalgia on paper 

And let my wounds bleed with the ink of my pen. 

I’ll turn what once was into words.

Someday, I’ll look at the transcript that used to be us

And accept it for what it is instead of trying to revise it. 

I’ll close my eyes and picture every detail of your being. 

I won’t ask questions.

I’ll stop forming answers. 

I’ll just write what’s you. 

Someday. 

When I’m done waiting to heal,

I’ll write.
