Poetry

Other

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Key around her neck. He wonders where

it connects. Heart in hand, she let him have it when

they first met. Mind in his chest, he always knows what

she’s thinking. He always knows. It’s from the other, the

soul from her last relationship. A reminder of what of

she’s left. A key to a home that’ll always be there.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

    The poem is so interesting and intriguing, had to read it 3 times. The key could be interpreted in different ways, but I’d like to believe the ‘reminder’ is useful, in that she is making a choice to have that available home but yet never return.
