Standing Up to Grief

You Again? No, I don't wish for your company

I've already shared too much

I know there will be no moving on

But perhaps you could give me a rest for now?

Of course, I still hold true to what I let out

But for the sake of all that is holy

and for my sake,

let the rest stay in.

If I can just distract myself from you,

create new business, can't you do the same?

I can compromise. Maybe we can discuss it

on certain calendar days. You know, the important

ones. The ones I would never wish to re-live again.

Would that satisfy you?

Maybe I'd be ready if it were planned, my idea.

Now, go away.

I will embrace you again, but on my terms.

But not today!
