PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before someone else needs to die to make us visit each other

Before another body is buried under miscommunication and unrequited phone calls

Before another Christmas leaves half empty photos and unsigned cards behind

I just need to say

I will never be your vision of perfect

And I meant what I said in my email

I still feel you had no right to behave as you did

I have lost almost all my respect for you as a person

Finally seeing you with clear eyes

Eyes no longer blurred by youthful admiration of the only feminine figure I had

I am still hurt and angry

But that will always be my Aunt
