Science Teacher

My 6th grade science teacher's wife died

He posted about it online

I couldn’t sleep last

So i’m out here on my phone

I don’t know why i’m crying

Is it empathy or cause i’m tired

And also terrifying

To be old and alone

I thought you would live forever

And i would to

In 280 characters

A universal truth

Time doesn’t ask you

Out of sight and out of mind

Doing fine til you remind me

Travel time to a memory

Been 20 years and you still find me

I thought you would live forever

And i would to

In 280 characters

A universal truth

Time doesn’t ask you

It cuts through

Memories slow

Letting it grow

Letting it leave you

Comes back around

Corrupting how

How i see you

I’m dying too

Go back with you

Before i know
