Your brilliance, your wise advice, your guidance, your love, the support you gave,

oh how I crave that again, just like any child would.

I yearn for your words, words of comfort like a warm blanket wrapped all around me,

oh, you were so proud of me; my number one fan, you’re still in there somewhere,

aren’t you?

Somewhere you’re there, lost in a continuous loop of conversation, on repeat, again, and again, and again,

it will never be over, because you don’t remember,

oh, please won’t someone find the answer?!

God dammit, I miss you! I just want to kiss you and you’ll know who it is as if by magic,

fuck, this is tragic, but I just wanna say, “Mamma, it’s me, it’s your Jay!”

and then you’ll come back to me - one day….

From Melbourne, Australia, I love creative writing and food, particularly a good quality cheese or some sort of dairy.
