This next poem was written 4 months later, sadly...
Take a deep breath...

I wrote these poems for a dear friend whose...
Hey, don't label me...

Why does my
mind race...

They laid her out
bathed in pink lights...

I see you
most days...

I tried to change you
into the man...

I miss
holding your hand...

I thought I knew you
but I guess I don't at all...

We put on our
happy faces...

"Thank-you for being you"
My love...

I am
so afraid...

I am a joke
amongst your friends...
