Choosing Death

I fought so hard to relieve the pain I so longingly wanted to shield, and all that internal torment from your death was easily revealed. I wanted to believe that we could still keep our sisterly connection, but you chose eternal death and felt the internal shame of rejection. When A Fourth Line Helps It To Rhyme! Poetry Contest Silent One May 8, 2018
