Of names I will never know.


I thought I taught years to breathe. Often still; my conscious whispers your name. I disregard it; taking my time to twitter my thumbs of what I can put off til tomorrow. Yet tomorrow screams years away and I've left your side in lure of no light. Places I hide; I hinder the whys. Forgiveness, I ask not. This I dare not seek. I just give you a hope; blown on the wind and received in anonymity - for no article of my being should recall tragic times. Not forgotten just placed upon shelves, dusted with disease.  

I miss you but I will not offer my presence
just to relieve my heart and to torture your memories.

My best friend died when I was fifteen.
This is for her mother.

I have been meaning to write something like this for awhile.

    I liked the simple style in which you wrote this.

    It was interestingly laid out, nothing like a poem at all...

    I liked the picture. It definitely added somethng to your words...

    Loved also this phrase dusted with disease.
    So simple, yet so effective!

    Your best friend died? That's quite possibly one of the worst things I could think of to happen to me...
    I wish you strength...
