Beginnings are always rough

Of course that doesn’t make the middles any easier

Really the endings can be difficult too.

Not that you need to worry.  You were ready the day you were…

Peel (an acrostic poem)

Prying back her man’s rough outer layer

Exposed the fact that he was surprisingly human

Except she didn’t want to believe that

Lifting his freshly stilled heart out of the way, she continued to look for essence of monster

Mass (an acrostic poem)

Maybe she should have gone to church more often

Any time things got rough she would break down and go

So now here she was, talking to the priest about her cancer

Sometimes it helps to find someone to help to with the heavy lifting
