Gone

Gone is the person who, could make me laugh, replaced by a person who can fuel my tears… Gone is the person who knew how to caress me, replaced by a person who’s afraid to touch me… Gone is the person who understood me, replaced by a person who questions me… Gone is the person who use to look at me with love in his eyes, replaced by a person whose eyes are filled with hatred… Gone is the person who gave me flowers just because, replaced by a person who gives me nothing… You use to say you love me every day, you use to say you care… you said you’d give me world, guess what I got today?? I got flowers I even got some tears… I got love I got some laughter A little sadness too But mostly you’re pretending To be grieving husband I know you’d never be… I’m happy where I’m at.. No fear Of when the next storm will Erupt. No fear about being hit or punched… I am not afraid To breathe again Even though I am DEAD!!!

Such deep contrasts in this one, Wilma--I can only imagine the pain of what you've been through to be able to write such moving pieces...I hope you're feeling better....

This poem touches so many levels of emotions. To me it starts out reflecting how the partner had changed for the worse over time, tries to apologize withe the things you use to love, but it is to late. You are complacent and spiritually dead toward this person. My thoughts on this excellent but sad write.
