Jewel by Camille Lewis

My words hold no weight. They’ve stopped working.

Tennis balls against a wall, they thud and roll away

I try imagery. Will you walk with me?

Through my gallery of memories of you: untainted snapshots

Sepia tinted, through my hazy eyes. I promise I’ll see the best of you always.

I know you didn’t ask for narration, but this is my tour!

On the left is the first time you felt comfortable enough to be yourself and I caught it

Actually, this whole room is just that one. It’s beautiful.

The most expensive frame will go one day to the ‘light bulb moment’

Realisation that you are not just worth something to me

But everything.
