Love and Death

I love all of you
I embrace the beauty of the universe
I live in darkness
I smile as I cry
I'll make you laugh, as part of me dissolves
Now I leave you
As I must die

The outside smile is the armor that protects the inside grief and torment . That which one does not want exposed to others. I once spent decades doing that type of protection. One can reason, its my fight alone and I do not want to burden others with it . Yet burdening outside people(getting help) often is the key to victory. Fantastic write my friend!!!

Dear Arthur, I admire the irony in this poem. You "smile" while crying and make her laugh even as part of you "dissolves." Beautifully written! Love, Carolyn
