Childish Necromancy

I want to get some of the poetry out of my Notes app and thought here would be the best place.

Childish Necromancy

Originally written 04/04/2024

I placed tulips on your grave today,

And made a confession long forgot

I keep trying to bring you back

Even though I know I cannot

I tried to find you again

I looked for the birdsong in the garden

Only to find that the bird no longer sings the same tune

So badly I wanted to hear that song once more

I made it reality

Deep down, how does one accept you’ll now forever be a memory?

I kept that locked inside my heart for so long

But even now I still can’t accept that you’re gone.

It’s been a lifetime and I’ve finally had a year like that one.

I’ve had movement in my heart I haven’t felt since I was young.

There are things now that I wouldn’t trade for you, and in that there is guilt.

But maybe just maybe, that’s how healing is finally built.
