Quiet

Summary:

A poem probably written by Nick after the Great Gatsby

(I'm just venting through Nick here)

Work Text:

It’s too quiet here without you

Not just this house

And not just your gardens

Which were once filled with sparkling grandeur

But it seems the rest of the world has become

Quiet. It’s too quiet.

 

There is one noise in this house,

And it’s not even a real noise

It’s only a light, green. Green like envy.

It screams for my attention

Like the woman once she remembered who you were

 

Aside from that,

It’s too quiet

And I feel like I’m the only person who really remembers you

Paid actual attention to you, to who you were

But now it’s too quiet.
