Look at me
A year later
Still grieving
Tenaciously clinging to the grief
(It`s all I have left of you)
Let it go, people say
It is time
But to let it go is to let you fade
and melt into nothingness
You are still so real
I will hold on to the pain
I won`t forget.
Look at me
I am stronger now
I go out and face a world that is full
of children and pregnant women and father`s
proud smiles.
The flowers grow on cemetery hillsides.
Life goes on – the world keeps turning
And I watch the children with great intensity
Smiling at their spontaneity and their need for affirmation
Eyes full of innocence and trust
Searching the faces of their parents
I am o.k. if they don`t look my way
Don`t turn those eyes at me
Don`t look at me.
