"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe in tomorrow."
-Audrey Hepburn


I tell myself
This isn't happening
But the truth is
It's just beginning

The anguish black
Just settling in
No more
Is everything that has been

A soul
Exiting the horizon
Leaving behind
Everything that lies on
The bitter ground
We call home

As he walks past
Everything he once knew
Does he look back?
Or keep pushing through

I call his name
No reply
Now I'm afraid
Can he hear my cries?

I should have seen this coming
I should have stopped it
It's too late now
But i can't just drop it

This one came when my grandpa died. About three months before he was diagnosed with cancer, he had been complaining of side pains. I realized it was the cancer when he died. 1931-2007
