This is the most personal poem that I have posted. I may share other things that I wrote in this period of my life in the future. I am putting this here because I realize that putting this out there may help me heal. Comments are welcome.
Half of me is gone
But she’s still here
Wanting no pity
Pulling herself up
Trying to do things
Her way
Even if I could
Her way is the way
Period
Half of me is gone
But she’s still here
She’s at the hospital
I want to go see her
But I don’t have a way
Everyone’s too busy
Should I walk
Thirty miles to visit her
No
Because she is not there
Half of me is gone
But she’s still here
I look in the mirror
And see her half
Her part in me
Her crooked pinkies
Her button nose
Her wry smile
Half of me is gone
But
But
But

MJHunterover 18 years agoGreat stuff, Gina - reminds me of something I went through a couple of years ago. Very personal and courageously written.
