An Eternal Delicacy
and this delicate taste will follow your soul for eternity
Mary Shelley’s handwritten poem “Absence”, on the death of her husband. The poem reads:
Ah! he is gone — and I alone;
How dark and dreary seems the time!
‘Tis Thus, when the glad sun is flown,
Night rushes o’er the Indian clime.
Is there no star to cheer this night
No soothing twilight for the breast?
Yes, Memory sheds her fairy light,
Pleasing as sunset’s golden west.
And hope of dawn — Oh! brighter far
Than clouds that in the orient burn;
More welcome than the morning star
Is the dear thought — he will return!

I only wish for one more moment
One more moment of us
Of what we once were
To experience that feeling just one more time
The feeling of being in love with you
But without the pain I have inside me now
I only wish for one more moment
Of bliss.

I read over old diaries of mine
It is as if every thought I have had
For the last three years
Have all been about you
You plague my mind
And I fear there is no cure.

Sometimes even the people you love will let you down
Sometimes even the people you love will make you cry
Sometimes even the people you love will make your blood boil
Sometimes even the people you love will hurt you
Sometimes even the people you love will seem heartless
Sometimes even the people you love will joke at your expense
Sometimes even the people you love will seem as if they do not love you
Sometimes even the people you love will not deserve such love
Sometimes even the people you love are the worst kinds of people.

And I don’t think you would even know
That after all this time
You’re still the only one in my heart.

A Phone Call
And I just thought I would give you call,
I suppose, because I missed you all.
I’m not really sure where to start,
In fact, I’m pretty close to falling apart.
I know this isn’t supposed to be easy,
But I wonder if I’m supposed to feel quite this queasy.
I am certain that I’m not making any sense,
But be sure this is my attempt to make amends.
I guess I’ll just finish off with an ‘I love you’,
And an ‘I hope you love me, too’.

Hello my new year
Please treat me well my dear
For 2012 was not the best
To be true, it left me quite bereft.
I hope this year my dreams come true
I hope this year will be good to you, too.
Goodbye to the old
Let this year be bold
Hello to the new
Let the problems be few
Goodbye 2012
Hello 2013.

One day, every thing changed.
And it was as if we had never even known each other.

When did I decide that you were going to be the ruler of me?
When did I decide that you would rule my heart, my head, my emotions, my body?
When did I decide that you were the most important thing to me?
When did I decide that you came before everything else; even me?
When did I decide that you could break my heart?
When did I decide that you could make me feel like this?
When did I decide any of this?
I’m not sure of the answer.
I’m not even sure there is an answer.
Because if it had been up to me, I would never have decided any of these things.
