I am attempting to ride a horse long after it has died. My heart won’t accept the fact that it’s dead, and no matter how hard I try I will not be able to revive this thing! I have always had a hard time letting go when things don’t seem to be working out, but this time is especially difficult. I think if I wait a bit longer it will all change. My heart and brain are at war over this – a constant battle between them. One says “Quick! Jump ship!” the other says “Stay the course”. How does one know who’s right?
*Insert love sonnet where I admit my undying affection*
how about instead of a sonnet I provide a valediction?

I am the queen of holding on to the past... to the invisible.... to the was-barely-even-there.
There are two of us my friend.
