Observations in the New House

Different Kinds of Love

By Alyssa MaioPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

I unknowingly just watched you age

And it was such a weird phenomenon

Because

I don’t know you

I see you everyday

My brother’s roommate

And I wonder who you were as a young girl

What Estonia was like

While I sleep each night on your couch

Imposing myself for another few months

I discover the desire to find the you in all of the you’s I see

Your relatives came and brought these pictures of you

Looking sassy

Some white mock neck shirt

At 16

Older than even your parents

Red candles burn

And it looks like home

And behind that smirk

You looked comfortable

I’m so sorry you are no longer comfortable

Los Angeles must be hard

America, harder
