aND so iT SeEms

I keep asking myself, “Why?”, even though I know the answers. It seems to be the only question that makes sense.

I keep saying, “No”, even though I know the truth. It seems to be the only way to keep my heart from aching.

I keep telling others, “I’m OK”, even though I know I’m not. It seems to be the only answer to assuage the guilt I feel.

Today I gave my friend a yellow rose, before she flew up to heaven.
