My Cue To Fall Apart

The journey home seemed endless People were still smiling I wondered how and why My broken heart Was seeping out of me Such was the pain I couldn't cry I occupied myself To numb out the first few hours Somehow waiting for my cue I cleaned the house Until my hands bled And bruised black and blue The stinging seemed to help I could see this pain It felt real Everything else Was my body going into shock This I couldn't feel Still the birds were singing The sky going about its business Even today it wouldn't be grey The world niggled me Like an excited child I just wanted it to go away The wait seemed constant You know its coming But not sure when it will start My heart is broken And I am just waiting For my cue to fall apart

Jo, wonderful verse!!! Like you, I do housework when something is bothering me. I hate to think of you suffering and waiting for your "cue to fall apart." But that's what good poetry does. It makes the reader feel! Thanks for commenting on "I See Tomorrow in You." And please don't envy my writing style; yours is so unique and creative! Best wishes, Carolyn
