Clueless

It grieves me to know you're gone, We didn't have enough time. We can't have another dawn, Your leaving feels like a crime. I hate that fate took you away, I'm glad I had you in my life. I long for you each new day, I was blessed to be your wife. You left, my heart shattered, There is no me without you, In a split second, nothing mattered. You were so genuine and true, I feel abandoned and so lost. You were my safe harbor, my home, In the accident, you paid the cost. I can't sleep; at night, I just roam, Time hasn't healed my pain. It's been almost twenty years, Stuck at the scene, and I'm not sane I'm all cried out; I have no more tears I want to get out of this nightmare. But I retreat, cause it binds me to you, Forgetting you is something I couldn't bear. When will I move on? I don't have a clue. *A Fictional Write Alexis Y. 05/29/2021

Heya Alexis, this form of fictional grief is very difficult near impossible to replicate, only really good authors and actors achieve it in the arts, if you hadn’t explained it was fiction, I would’ve absolutely believed you suffered this loss, very moving write, cheers David

I'm glad you didn't really suffer this kind of heartache, Alexis. Your gripping poem, however, expresses the pain of grief quite well. Nicely written! :) Evelyn

Not easy to forget. Happened to me once and it took me three years to rid myself of nasty thoughts. But I was young and soon realized that things had to change. Hugs

So sorry to hear you are still so despondent after all this time. It's hard to lose a loved one. But he wouldn't want your life to end because of him. He would want you to continue on and be happy. God Bless my friend. JB

What an incredible write-up to your husband; it's a melancholy, hopeless state when love has abandoned us, and we cannot forget their final recollections. Have a blessed weekend, dear Alexis
