Poetry

Overheard (8/30/23)

Standing still
On the outside
Life happens
A blur
All around

Snippets of seemingly
Mundane
Conversation
Bombard
Her heart

	Good Morning, Love
	How was your day?
	Do you want to stay in tonight, or go out?
	Please wait for me here
	I love you

She used to be one of the living
Before
Heard those words a thousand times
Never thought there would be a last
Time

Now she’s just
Holding on
Surviving
Wishing she belonged
In
The conversation of life
Again.
