Some Days, Someday: A Poem

Some days, I’m drowning in your memory.

Someday, I’ll learn to swim for higher ground.

Some days, I dwell in the past where I can find you.

Someday, I’ll live in the moment of your present spirit.

Some days, the grief makes my knees buckle.

Someday, love will strengthen my stance.

Some days, I put your song on repeat.

Someday, I’ll hum a renewed tune. 

Some days, I want to scream bloody murder.

Someday, I’ll make peace and I’ll mend.

Some days, my nightmares swallow me whole.

Someday, you’ll be lucid in my dreams.

Some days, I collapse into bed indefinitely.

Someday, I’ll rise and greet a new day. 

Some days, I die a slow death.

Someday, I’ll come back to life.

Some days, I resent our separated bodies.

Someday, our twin souls will reunite. 

Some days, I ache from all things left unsaid.

Someday, we’ll never leave anything unspoken. 

Some days, I grieve the lost chance to say goodbye.

Someday, I’ll remember how many times we’ve said hello.

Some days, I regret how we scripted things.

Someday, we’ll write our new story. 

Some days are only bearable because

someday we’ll meet again.
