“I hate hiding how much the stupid things he did hurt me, but I hated the idea of him finding out even more.”

“Time Does Not Bring Relief
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied
Who told me time would ease me of my pain!
I miss him in the weeping of the rain;
I want him at the shrinking of the tide;
The old snows melt from every mountain-side,
And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;
But last year’s bitter loving must remain
Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.
There are a hundred places where I fear
To go,—so with his memory they brim.
And entering with relief some quiet place
Where never fell his foot or shone his face
I say, “There is no memory of him here!”
And so stand stricken, so remembering him.”
― Collected Poems

“Standing at the edge of time
Almost falling down to the dark abyss
As I near the end of mine
I reminisce the things I will miss
The smiles and laughter
Running around without a care
The time when my grin will never falter
Being so free, willing my soul to bare
Heartaches, heartbreaks and tears
Now I know better and to myself I will never lie
Because in woe, I learned to love and never fear
Those were the best and worst moments of my life
As the memories rush back to me
I look down and now I feel relieved
Because when it is time
Everything will be fine when I leave”
