Nezuko Kamado
I check to
see again
if her eyes are
looking back at me
maybe the made
up stories are true
that’s how I’ll know
if all of it is really you
and when I turn my head,
your eyes may reveal
I promise I won't be scared,
I just need the answers to heal
the empty castle
is haunting,
the grim reaper
roams in his stalking
I lock all the doors
behind me
yet the scent always
comes through
sometimes its clean laundry
and other times it’s strawberries,
but if I tell this to anyone else,
would they all think I’m crazy?
I trace my fingers over her
initials in thoughtful engraving
and I can feel her energy,
like she’s right there
sitting next to me
I watched her transform
into pink flames
as she disappeared, a void
caved inside of my brain
sometimes I meet people
who have your name
and I want to tell them how
I know a spirit as kind
and caring as you are
how I wish I could do anything to
bring you back, its not enough
for you to only exist in my heart
your anime figurine moves
throughout my room
we watched Coraline together,
now there's mystery to the moon
how a little doll came around
and seemed very friendly
and she watched over
her as she slept gently
I set her down to gain a
change in perspective
her eyes glare back at me
and the stares are reflective
her flowing dark hair
adorned in a pink robe
