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.
