NaPoWriMo (4/30)

Another day filled with more poems in my head than on paper about more things than I could post even if I had written them down.  Hopefully this isn't as weird as I think it is.

11:14pm, 4/4/13 my handwritten love note is on the computer but it's just for you

When it happened to me

I didn’t want anyone to know

this pain so personal and private

it seemed wrong to allow

anyone to intrude

And when it got out

I was mad

My privacy had been violated

my wishes disregarded

my grief blown wide for all the world to see

when what I’d wanted

was to lick my wounds in a corner

in hopes of reconstituting my soul

But the love notes

the I-feel-for-yous

the this-happened-to-me-toos

did more for me than any corner could

So I feel for you

because something like this happened to me too

and though I can’t enter fully into your pain

know I love you
