friday the 13th
she’s a double earth sign
and i’m a double water.
but at times i forget—
i’m still somebody’s daughter.
i was not your lover
i think i would cry the day your tiktoks stopped showing up on my for you page.
no matter if you want me to or not,
i simply can’t forget about your existence.
i can’t deny your role,
your enormous role in my life.
three years without
yesterday marked three years since your memorial
at the club;
the one you took josh and me to as kids
on saturdays,
dadurdays,
bradurdays,
more than two decades ago.
