If only you care.....

If I had been just a little quicker,
I wouldn't be here, drinking hard liquor,
I saw her take a step to the edge and certain death,
And then, she jumped; I never saw her dying breath,
If she was back, I look at her with a glare,
Saying "Why don't you come back, don't you care?"

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
