Grand Central Station.  I will go. I will find him- no I will do something. I will not just sit here and let him dictate everything. I will act.  This is too terrible. Ahhh, everything is too terrible. My heart cannot reconcile this pain and this love.  I love him and I hate him.

I am on my way to Grand Central.  I will catch another line to get to his mother’s.  I will rush in demanding that he honor and respect me.  I have that right. I have his child. He has everything that is mine.  Yes, yes I will go to him.

I have just received word that he will not come.  He will not leave her to come to me.  He knows I am desperate- he knows that I am hurting, ahh hurting so much and yet he cannot take the time or tear himself away. That settles it.  I will not let you torment me.

About Elise Hanks

I am a senior Feb at Middlebury and about to complete the Literary Studies major. I recently submitted my senior honors essay that was grounded in American Women Poets, Feminist Literary Theory, Gender Theory, Sexual/Textual Politics, and the creation of poetic self. In the past I have interned for the Department of Education, worked as a Federal Service Student Ambassador at Middlebury College and for the Partnership for Public Service where I was trained in helping students find and apply to federal job and internship opportunities. I have held a leadership role with Page 1 Literary Project, a student organization that organizes programs and events that promote literacy in schools across Addison County, Vermont, for the past two and half years. My other extracurricular interests include intramural sports, dance, poetry, and art.
