I Have Something to Say

So many times, I wish I could just tell them "Hey, this is how I'm feeling.. now that you're not here."

But they aren't here anymore because of what I am; I always steel myself and say to myself that they don't need a reminder of the grief and pain my presence had wrought on them.

A small smile flickers at that last thought, my only consolation that I'll ever get for these feelings that will never be explained.

Rilke says:
"We, hurt by ourselves, keen
to be hurters and keen
to be hurt back deep inside.
We, like weapons laid
beside anger asleep."

if only we can learn how to not hurt ourselves, for just a little bit, maybe the world around us will be a bit clearer, and for once we'd feel okay, even for a moment.
