Number 1 Question

YEP

 

All I know is...not where I've been sending it...people will always disappoint

[Jess]

Mine hasn't gone anywhere. I love LH today just as much as the day he passed away. I look at it as my heart has grown to give more love.

 

And screw anyone that wastes the love you give, RP.

[Mizpah]

Before I was ready for it, this poem made me RAGEOUSLY angry.  So if you're there, I'm sorry.  There were many books I threw across the room because their message was too hopeful and positive.  Feel free to curse my name for posting this response - I won't take it personally.  It's cheesy for sure, but there's something in it that I love. 

 

Epitaph

By Merrit Malloy

 

When I die

Give what?s left of me away

To children

And old me that wait to die.

 

And if you need to cry,

Cry for your brother

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me,

Put your arms

Around anyone

And give them

What you need to give to me.

 

I want to leave you something,

Something better

Than words

Or sounds.

 

Look for me

In the people I?ve known

Or loved,

And if you cannot give me away,

At least let me live on in your eyes

And not your mind.

 

You can love me most

By letting

Hands touch hands,

By letting bodies touch bodies,

And by letting go

Of children

That need to be free.

 

Love doesn?t die,

People do.

So, when all that?s left of me

Is love,

Give me away.

I adore this, and is kind of what I've been doing...doting on people...but it's the wrong people.

 

Mine hasn't gone anywhere. I love LH today just as much as the day he passed away. I look at it as my heart has grown to give more love.

 

And screw anyone that wastes the love you give, RP.

 

Which is what I meant by my statement of not where I've been sending it. I still love Daniel soooo much; sadly, I'm now doting on people that do not care about me.

Wow Mizpah

"Love doesn't die

People do

So, when all that is left of me

Is love

Give me away"

This hit me so much tonight. Thank you!
