I Can See a Blur

All I can see is a blur As the visitor of grief returns Tears fall on lined pages As a pen tries to find words I need you to come back But, that won’t happen I sit in a chair, shocked But, feel like I am wandering In the graveyard again Searching, for your grave There is no time between Only you, would understand Not the blackbirds I heard Not anyone to talk to now Thrown back in a moment So familiar, but true I must keep stepping forward Without my partner As my heart, rips apart again It’s beating fast and burning Lack of closure, is the knife Sharpened by the those who Sent you to heaven Before it was your time Heidi Sands 11/21/19

This poem and the depth of sadness hurts my heart, Heidi. Such grief but no comfort. I know your heart yearns for it, but it and he are with you, feel him, he will guide you through.

Thank you for your kind words Chris. Some things happen abruptly and unexpectedly. And there is no avoiding what may get triggered from within. Sandy Weiss, actually just wrote a great poem on this topic, I could identify with, too. Thank you again :)

This is heartrendingly sad.. lack of closure is the knife.. so true, because many times we find no closure...

Hello Heidi, I sense the sadness in this poem. When there is no closure it is hard to move on.I understand that very well. For me I am going to forget it. Then when i meet my special person, I will work on my trust issues. Have a nice day my friend.

"sharpened by those who sent you to heaven before it was your time" - this tells a much sadder tale, Heidi.
