May Sarton, "Of Grief", Selected Poems

Your silence has been with me and I have let it have its say.

Anne Sexton, from ‘A Self-Portrait in Letters’ ⁠— Brother Dennis Farrell, 2nd August 1963

one day you think: I want to die. and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book. and I want to die turns day by day into want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun, I want a cleaner kitchen, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else. I want to live.

" Time will pass

And someone will be forgotten

Things will flow however they like "

Time, like a wave, will wash away like the ebb tide - But still, don’t forget to come find me.

" Though I’m breathing,

it feels like my heart has broken down

Yeah, to talk about now, it’s about becoming an adult who finds it only overwhelming to grasp onto a dream,

I’m becoming an adult. "

For just one day, without any concerns, for just one day, without any worries, to live, to live, to live.

“And that’s how you go on. You lay laughter over the dark parts. The more dark parts, the more you have to laugh. With defiance, with abandon, with hysteria, any way you can.”

Me: I hate clichés.

Author: they’re cold and ruthless with everyone else, but around each other they melt

Me: *cries* THEY’RE COLD AND RUTHLESS WITH EVERYONE ELSE, BUT AROUND EACH OTHER THEY MELT
