Disclaimer: Hopefully, you guys know the drill. Nothing is mine, I just write poems about Stephanie's characters.

This one's about her hallucinations.

Distant

Choosing not to remember

Not to travel the road of pain.

I can't fool myself into thinking that everything

Will be alright.

Even though I try.

I hear you

And I imagine

You're still here.

I'd like to think you are

Watching over me

Keeping me safe.

Even though I know you're gone.

I wish I could go back

Say something

Anything

To make you stay

To make you love me.

Or even just see you

One last time

And say goodbye.

I'm trying to stay strong

But how can I when you're gone

You took my happiness

And I don't think

I'll ever smile again.

Edward

Alive in my memories

That make the hole fade

For a while.

So I'll keep taking these risks

You warned me against

But it's worth it

Just to hear you

To remember.

I won't let you fade away.

I'll be here

Holding on to your memory

Until my dying day.
