From 4.3.09
After Reading My Sister's Keeper
They tell you
all along
that you can't win.
That you'll lose
in the end.
That it'll hurt.
And always
you simply smile
as you explain
for the thousandth time
that you don't mind.
That this is truly
what you want.
I admire
your courage
but I'm not sure
I can stand
to see you hurt.
Then you remind me
no matter what
it would be worse
not to try.
I only wish
I could be that strong.
