Circadianing reminiscing the days where I was jolly
Knowing the days pass by, with no trace of my past.
The snugness of the yellow and the white specks,
Hugging my thoughts with kindness.
Every night, clinging to the fuzzy friend,
Once given to me from someone who’s departed.
The days playing back to when he and I
Danced as if there was no time limit.
Glancing at the memories in my phone,
Grief consuming me, non-ending with thoughts.
Recollecting the day we first encountered each other
As if it was a second ago.
Those brown eyes, looking elsewhere when my eyes
Tried reaching his glaze.
Trying everyday to proceed, knowing someone isn’t here
To cheer me on like they once did.
The day when all the plans I held for myself,
Vanishing in an instant, now having to create new ones.
The angel watching over me as a protective lion,
Caring for their cub.
The memories giving life to a person,
While I can't bring myself to embrace my past.
In this poem, I wrote about an experience I experienced this year of 2025 that I am still embracing. Someone special to me passed away that I had created plans with and the news came unexpectedly to me. I talk in this poem about how he was and how he made me feel in the time that I saw him and when he was still here. The “fuzzy friend” being a gift that he gave me once when he asked me the big question that made me jolly. My writing process in this poem was by first describing how the time passes by and I can’t seem to assimilate that they are gone. Later on I go on and I describe the memory playing in my head constantly which makes it hard to not think about him. The literary techniques that I portray in this poem are imagery. Imagery plays a big role in this poem because I want the reader to imagine the play that I am trying to portray here and how the memories that play in my head constantly are so vivid.
