Nine Days Ago

Nine Days Ago

A Poem by Leen Am

I met Trevor 355 days ago in a mental institution, 
I felt numb. 
I discovered Trevor's scars 343 days ago in the mental institution,  
I felt sad. 
I kissed Trevor 341 days ago in the mental institution, 
I felt excited. 
I had my first late night talk with Trevor 332 days ago on a roof of the mental institution,  
I felt secure.  
I met Trevor's drunk mother 326 days ago in the mental institution visit room, 
I felt sorry. 
Trevor read me horror books to sleep 320 days ago in the mental institution,  
I felt surprisingly safe. 
I first slept next to Trevor 320 days ago in the mental institution, 
I felt safe too.  
I was getting better with Trevor 310 days ago in the mental institution, 
I felt different. 
I saw Trevor's mother again 289 days ago in a casket, 
I felt depressed. 
Trevor went bad again 288 days ago in the mental institution,  
I felt down. 
I talked to Trevor at 3 am for three hours 230 days ago, 
I felt okay. 
He felt okay. 
Trevor stopped self harming 194 days ago in the mental institution,  
I felt happy. 
I drove Trevor home with my brand new license 189 days ago in my dad's car, 
I felt overwhelmed. 
Trevor met my parents 188 days ago in my house,  
I felt proud.
Trevor and I swam in a lake 156 days ago twenty minutes from his house, 
I felt loved. 
I made out with Trevor 61 days ago in my kitchen,
I felt rebellious. 
I was only sixteen with Trevor 10 days ago, 
I felt accomplished.
Trevor overdosed 9 days ago in my bedroom, 
I refused to cry 8 days ago imagining Trevor under the cover of his casket, 
I refused to mourn 7 days ago when all were at Trevor's funeral, 
I blamed Trevor's lack of existence on me 6 days ago in my living room, 
I still haven't cried 5 days ago over Trevor in his house, 
I dreamt of Trevor 2 days ago, I helped him with hiding his scars in the mental institution, 
I again dreamt of Trevor 1 day ago, I was kissing him in the mental institution, 
I'm only feeling numb again.
