I haven't written you in a while


I haven’t written to you in a while

Not sure if this means I’m moving on

Since I haven’t written much of anything lately but I haven’t written to you in a while.

And I don’t mean to him

Yes the him I wrote about to you once or twice or maybe more

And I don’t mean the one with eyes bluer than the sky

I mean the you who I haven’t written to in a while

Today I was lazy

Today I did dishes

And laundry

And took out the trash

And today I was lazy

Today I did work on my laptop

Opened and closed it a hundred times

But today I was lazy

And I haven’t written to you in a while

So here I am

Sitting in the bathtub with the air freezing the parts of my legs not submerged

And I’m wondering why I decided to take a bath in the first place

And why I haven’t written to you in a while

I hope you’re not offended

Or that I’ve made made you feel neglected

You see I just haven’t had the words to write to you for a while

And I’m still not sure if you read them

Or if you hear them

Or in some turn of events you believe them

But I miss you

4 years is an awfully long time to be missing someone

Especially someone you haven’t written to in a while

But I hope wherever you are the skies are blue

And the grass is green

And the storm clouds have left you on another breeze

And although I know the rain has landed on my cheeks many times since then

I hope that I see you again

And I promise I’ll write to you again

At least in a little while

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
