goooood morning! hope you enjoy this poem :) it's called "stolen moments" and i honestly got the inspo because i'm ALWAYS writing random prose on post-it notes haha <3
********************************
you're
stealing moments
writing down
whimsical words
on yellow post-its
stained with circles
from coffee cups
claiming they're for
posterity
when really it's just
that you can't
bear
to give up on your
imagination
on some
dream
you had a long
time ago
before life
dug its claws into you
and never let
go
before heartbreak
was something that
knew you like
an old friend
before
sadness
was an emotion
you felt too
often
before you knew
what it was
to cry an
ocean
and the
whimsical words
are not going to be
found
by whoever
lives
in your little
apartment
after you
they will never
know
the sharpie scrawls
on yellow squares
and the smell of
coffee
that lingers
too
they will never
know
the tears that fell
onto your
pillowcase
or the sobs
heard only by
ghosts
and god
before you
fell asleep
the person who
sits down
at your desk
will only smile
brush away the
dust
put down their
books
and their thoughts
in a journal
or on a piece of
paper
with tea bag
stains
instead of
coffee ones
in stolen moments
of their own
writing down
perhaps
equations
or perhaps
words
either way
the yellow post-its
will end up in the
trash
taken out on
wednesday night
before the
garbage man comes
to take them away
the way that
life
took away your
will to
dream
