My Husband Your Bride

Like a ghost I flitter through the night keeping to the shadows abhorring the light Tears... Unrelenting grief The night camouflages and no one can see the shadow of the person that once was me The day lays me bare with nowhere to hide Where the raw pain and your memory collide Agony... Unrelenting grief Gone is the treasure of our history Evidenced in this lonely debris Only silence now reminisces with me Anguish....Unrelenting grief A penned art on vellum once tied in velvet ribbon What lies beneath me now the conclusion is written Droplets of amber have spilled upon this page They pool in the dirt here upon your grave Desolation...Unrelenting grief Remembering the touch of our feet Fingertips on my shoulder your breath on my cheek Early mornings recounting your dreams 25 years How oh how am I supposed to breathe Heartbreak...Unrelenting grief You took with you the heart of me My glory my purpose my identity You disappeared without a trace Hide and seek in an unfamiliar place Incertitude...Unrelenting Grief Can you hear them cry Oh Daddy why Gut wrenching wails Swollen eyes fail Empty...Unrelenting grief Till death do us part My husband your bride You parted I perished With your suicide Irrecoverable... Unrelenting grief

I feel somewhat guilty to say this is a great poem, but alas it is, and yes the reader can feel the pain and the depth of sadness in this, I can only hope you are having sunnier days now!

Oh yes Arthur, I have just become engaged to the most wonderful man. We've purchased a ranch and my boys love him completely. Right now at this moment, cloud 9 is an understatement. I love your poetry as well. Hugs dear one.

Great to meet you, Sarai. This was impeccably powerful, yet intensely sad. Your lines contained a very fierce poignancy. I can tell it wasn't easy to write this. Stunning work.
