• Dear Madeline,

    What do you do
    when, suddenly, you find that you have
    fallen in love?

    Do you spend the nights
    thinking
    because you can’t fall asleep?

    What do you do
    when you can not stop dreaming of
    his smile, his touch?

    Do you close your eyes
    and try
    to make dream reality?

    What do you do
    when the only thing you can think
    is “I love you”?

    Madeline, I’m alive

    Dear Madeline,

    What do you do
    when the one you’d give your life for says
    “I hate you”?

    Do you spend the nights
    crying
    because you can’t fall asleep?

    What do you do
    when you are afraid of losing
    everything?

    Do you cover your ears
    and try
    to erase the memory?

    What do you do
    when the only thing you can think
    is “I miss you”?

    Madeline, I am dead
