final goodbye

[rinna(on leave...for eternity)]

***** this is for my English teacher, Mrs Erinn Vann, who lost her battle with breast cancer last week. the one person who believed in me when nobody else could*****

Erinn, my friend
i would not be me
if it weren't for you
you invested so much in me
and i let you down
handing me the keys
to my independence
i abused it
and left you standing
in the smoky haze
of disappointment.

the one who knew
that i was being
untrue to myself
in the calamity of my life
you took me away
to dine with Poe and Austen
and crazy Billy Shakespeare
where i danced in the darkness
with my newfound muse
Mrs Browning

i owe you so much
but you left me so suddenly
comeuppance for
my selfishness
and i never got to
say goodbye.

An excellent tribute to your teacher, who obviously meant so very much to you.
