Alone if the only way

by Vicki Higgins - Cancer

I close my eyes and I smile.
As the rain falls I breathe.
It's over. It's over.

I fought so long,
So hard, to get here.
The pain is gone.

Still I need to be alone.
I feel overcrowded.
I need to be alone.

Later I will begin again.
I am not yet done with life.
But I have my memories for the moment.

My fight seemed unending.
I had to fight to breathe.
I won in the end.

But just for now,
Until I have settled
I need to be myself.

When you feel like I do,
Alone is the only way
Before I begin again.

(dedicated to the guy that helped me)

Reason for writing:

    After finally getting over a heartbreak I decided that I wanted to get away from people for a bit. This poem was the outcome of many evenings hidden away in my bedroom!
