These are the poems that were written in moments that mattered.

To a stranger,

May 26, 2010
This is to Jeff, Pamela's husband. We were texting and emailing, trying to help each other through the situation we'd been thrown into. I don't really know him, but I knew how he felt.

As he explained something, I could finish his thought, because I had already thought the exact same thing.

As much as it helped me to have someone understand how I felt, it pained me to know that someone else was suffering as I suffered. And I couldn't fix it for him...

To a stranger,
I am forever linked to you,
though we have never met.
I don't even want to meet you.

I know what you want
I know what you deserve
I know how you feel

And I have never even seen your picture
Nor will I ever
And I don't even mind

We are linked forever now

I wish we weren't.
I wish we never shared this experience
because I wish this never happened. 

But it did.
And you are now a chapter of my life
A chapter I want to erase.

And because we are linked
I know, if you had a choice,
You'd erase the chapter with me too.
