New Poem: Pointless Living in a Memory

So I stopped sharing pieces on here because I want you all to get excited about my upcoming book but I have been writing pieces here and there. I already have 2 more books in mind with titles. (Thankful for the inspiration and visions that are placed on my heart)

So here is a piece I finished today, enjoy:

Pointless living in a memory

Planting myself in soil that no longer harvests

Clothing myself in remnants of what were

Conjuring up specific images in my mind

And replaying them

Adding a few ingredients here and there to make the remembrance spell stronger

Reciting the sacred to bring it all back

Pointless living in a memory

Creating visual scrapbooks

With the highlights of us

That I flip through occasionally 

Calling like I used to 

Texting liked I used to 

Expecting like we are in the same space

we were...then

But it's pointless living in a memory

Our memory

it was amazing

No regrets

But it's just that...a memory

A recollection of the past

And in the present

I can't keep retrieving stored information

Time to create and live

Time to accept what it is

Cuz what I need and deserve now

Can't be fulfilled in the 

"back then when we"

or the "remember how we"

So now I sit still in peace

Content with the what and where things are

Unsure of what the future holds for me

But I know that for now

It's just pointless living in a memory
