I want to want nothing, you want to just feel
I want to remember you when you were real
You numb in the coldness, you dullen your sight
I want to remember you when you were right
Our present is failing, our past is undone
We're losing the struggle with what you've become
You suffer in silence, you tear me apart
You want absolution, I break my own heart.
This is about a friend's illness; I don't think it requires excessive explanation. She doesn't know I've written about this, hence the new DA account. I feel I shouldn't be revealing this at all, that this is somehow a betrayal, but it was a genuine catharsis to write, and so long as this is anonymous I pray it can't hurt her. I'm not sure about the title -- any suggestions on that, or the poem as a whole, are very welcome.
