Gathering Dust

Gathering dust The day you left me for a heavenly abode, Yearnings since then are gathering dust, Simmering heart had dared loudly explode, Family and friends are also posing unjust, Yet you were the only who betrayed my trust !! Written March 3rd, 2015 For contest "Gathering dust " by John Lawless

Dear Upma it's hard to make piece with someone who has past, the feeling stay within us for a long time after there gone, but we all have a striength within us that's amazing in the end a healing instinct, you'll find this as time goes by, but your expressing your feelings and that's one of the most important step in the healing, great write sad but that's ok, cheri thank you for your comment I hope they will like it, cheri

Dear Upma, I can definitely relate to the feelings you express here. Sometimes we can't come to terms with the pain a person has inflicted, even after they enter the "heavenly abode." The pain lingers. Best wishes in John's contest! Love, Carolyn

A sad read with a slap of reality requiring the reader to think as well as feel his way through the words. Emile.
