Poetry Intermezzo

This is a selection of poems that my sister wrote.

 


Don’t Look Away

Don’t look away
This is one of those experiences you were promised
Keep your eyes wide open
Nothing prepared you for this moment
Who will I cling to?
Who do I cling to?
This is real life
Nothing cloistered, nowhere to hide
Your judgment day
Do you have the strength you thought you didn't have?
Get through it
Breathe.
Who took her away?
I thought I would see the angels

Push me, Pull you

Stay here, stay
Where I can see you
  Touch you
You're pulling away
I would tether you
Here in this room
  To this rail
If I could
Isn't it funny
We're still fighting
Without any words?
Push me, pull you
Release me
I won't let you go
I'll keep you
You let go.
