Four years ago, to the day.
It's hard to believe.
Do I miss you?
No.
Sorry, but I never even knew you.

But now?
I can see you.
You never knew me that well either,
But I still feel you here.

Two relatives, yet almost strangers.
United by death, the one who truly separates.
I can feel you breathing down my neck;
Watching me when I'm
Working
Kissing
Punching someone's lights out.

You still give me that disapproving stare.
The one I always got when I saw you.
The one that only a scrawny, sanctimonious buzzard would be capable of.

I saw you again the other day.
He was stroking my hair, my body.
I was happy.
Then you appeared. You just stared at me for a while, until
"Slut" you said. And disappeared.
Nothing's changed.

In the beginning, the Universe was made. This has angered a lot of people and has been widely regarded as a bad move- Douglas Adams

Eleanor,
Ouch! That is the sort of chaos I'm glad t' leave behind. I'm glad you got it out, though.
