Poem #2

Adieu

what's discouraging me
is not leaving
nor losing
both are deadly
though I know
I will succeed in changing
What I'm so hopelessly dreading
is much simpler and sadder
though I don't think I can endure
the pain of forgetting

"We bury love, Forgetfulness grows over it like grass; That is a thing to weep for, not the dead."
