I see you across the courtyard,
I smile...

It's time,
That dreaded time again...

People cannot be the focus of your life.
You cannot build your life on them...

[To Daryl: I wrote this poem after Evie's...
We had been distant for a while...

Tears in her eyes,
Tears that wont fall...

I lost you but I'm getting stronger,
You hurt me but I'm learning to cope...

I want to move on but deep down inside,
This burning and spinning is making me blind...

She's hurting,
Hurting so bad...

There's a hand in our classroom,
No one knows why...

I wonder.
What could it have been...

Tears streaming down my face
As I lie in my bed at night...

This pain haunts me,
Makes me want to scream and shout...
