Lying Under the Hospital Blue

Poem entry for Moleskine

By Jessica GilliesPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Not just in limbo about this

Thought I was ready

You’re too old to be feeling that way

Shoulder to cry on but pulling away

Stomach ache starts to seep in

Moving in motions but it still feels the same

Future plans have been taken away

Anyone know what day it is?

My hair floating behind me

On your bike, the m8

A 14 year old Harley

That number needs to stop

Popping up

Ibrox flat

wooden chip shop fork

Ornate silver spoon

We knew we would never fit

Lying under the hospital blue
