when the paper falls

remember me

off your desk

fluttering to the floor

drifting to the ground.

remember me when the

lights dim and flicker

because i won’t ever leave you

maybe i’ll lose my mind

as a ghost, fall into

a pit of insanity

but maybe i’ll be there,

a comforting hand

on your shoulder.

remember me

when your words are choked

because i will help you

find them again.

remember me

when you're scared of the storm

because the rain is

just me tapping

on your window pane

to remind you

that i'm here.

even after death,

i'm not going anywhere.

i'll pull the razor

away from your skin.

i'll untie the rope

from your fan

because i'm your

number one fan.

and maybe that

makes me creepy,

a stalker in the dark,

but i don't want to be

alone in oblivion

and you don't want to be

alone in life.

so i'll keep you company

until it's your time,

and neither of us

will ever need to be

lonely.
