i don't want good without bad

I don't want good without bad.
I don't want glad without sad.
I don't need lies and I don't need smiles,
and I still love the friends who will not stay.

a poem for the alphabet

here is the story of why i love words

Twenty six eternities rear their little heads.
Grow into hooks, grow into lines, grow into books, grow into spines,
Grow into messages and lessons and losses,
And whispers, and loves, and days after days.
~
    Twenty six carve a lasting infinity
      With tiny, tiny voices encased within.
                                                             ~
Here are your weapons. Fight for your lives.
Defeat the enemy known as Time.


(how do you wish you could be remembered?)
