      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Feelings of Sadness - Susan O'Reilly

      Smile

      My depression has won

      no light in my sun

      rivers of blood I cry

      words of denial I sigh

      they'll put me away again for a while

      but I'll be free when I can false smile

      Slipping

      Oh no I’m slipping

      can feel depression gripping

      trying to keep control

      but falling down the hole

      these moods are overwhelming

      need some inner calming

      regain some sense of peace

      achieve stress release

      Mum

      She flits and flutters ever-ready to fly

      Whispers and mutters time flies by

      A myriad of emotions

      stream across her face

      no need for magic potions

      imagination creates her space

      Lost in the own world

      she doesn't need company

      with her fingers, her hair curled

      if she saw me she'd flee

      She no longer knows who I am

      I only get to spy

      she cries when I call her mum

      I don't know why

      They say visits upset her we keep our distance

      gone our loving mother

      we can only reminisce

      They Cared

      I’m here crying

      looking at the ravaged faces

      I’ve finished dying

      I’ve visited dark places

      All I can hear

      is why didn’t he say

      I wipe a tear

      I didn’t know you’d care either way

      Whether I was here or not

      I thought no-one would give a damn

      my emotions tied up in knots

      as my mother, they try and calm

      She’s howling like an animal in pain

      If I could I’d do it again

      to late realisation, I gain

      they’ll always be asking why and when

      Anger Disguised

      Havoc lies since your demise

      questions are cries

      in anger disguised

      Deep

      In deep sleep

      Istill weep

      pillow soaking wet

      drowning in its depth

      peace I mourn

      waking up forlorn

      Hiding

      Hiding behind my hair

      My shadow still hovers silently

      AWARE

      Alone in a crowded place

      My reality I can’t face

      Choking on unrealised dreams

      Depressions river streams

      Blocking out voices of reason

      Happy thoughts feel like treason

      Surrounded but on my own

      I can’t pick up the phone

      I’m drowning in misery

      Only me can help me

      I feel your concern

      Inner peace I have to learn

      Melancholy

      The wind tickles my moustache

      cigarette tips its ash

      must remember to get that waxed

      or relationship
