Favorite Quote:
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation. -Graham Green

Another box filled
Another room empty
Bare floors surrounded
By blank walls.

More goodbyes,
More memories
That are sure to
Fade soon.

Another street
Memorized only
To be forgotten.

Another trip taken
Only to be repeated
Again soon.

Another piece of me
Left behind, with the
Rest soon to follow

Falling slowly, until
All that’s left of me are
Faded numbers of
My many addresses
Old friends
And forgotten
Memories.
