‘I’ve Been Dying’, a poem by yours truly, Clara ❤️
I’ve been dying the way a candle forgets its flame, not in a single gust, but in the patient thinning of its own light,
wax pooling into silence while the wick still pretends to burn.
Each morning the air arrives thinner, as if the sky has been quietly rationing
what it once gave freely. Shadows gather under my eyes like soft, unfinished letters no one will ever open.
No thunder. No collapse.
Only the delicate unspooling of whatever once tethered me to the ordinary weight of days,
a silver thread dissolving in the dark mouth of time. And one evening the room will lean closer,
searching the empty chair and understand too late that I had already slipped through the seams of the light.
Too bad Meow isnt dying
