My vision may be going
but my hope will never leave...
Even though the sound of my cries
Can only be heard in my mind...
A vase of roses sits upon my table
I just can't bear to touch or toss...
I don’t call myself an addict.
That name doesn’t fit the person I’ve become...
When the body begins to rule over the mind
When the senses go for a toss...
Before “before” existed
when even nothing hadn’t happened yet...

The saddest tears are the driest ones seen in the bravest smile. |

Don't tell one who writes of grief to rethink their "I" statements. When you know they had tears on their hands as they wrote, don't say the poem could be better. You might as well say their grief could be worse. |

If someone shares a poem with you that is meant to help close an open wound, they don't want your opinion. They want your hand on their shoulder, gripping it tight. |
