My Mind Is Afraid To Whisper Hope

My heart is torn in the most delicate places – violently sad all goodness gone my mind is afraid to whisper any kind of hope my soul cannot rest, too overcome by my melancholy feelings these teeth gritting raw angry feelings keep me down hard the gnashing of my heart overtakes everything else my life has ceased, all goodness gone how do others survive a death? Violently sad I try to sleep Written July 15, 2018 Entered: Broken Wings Dear Heart Fragmented Verse Contest

The vivid imagery of your last two lines is so powerful, Caren. A great way to end your emotional and heartrending poem of gnashing grief. Raw and intense.. Best wishes for a win my friend.. ~Susan

Thank you Susan. It is nice that death has not been "in my face" lately, but when I think of it all those feelings race right back.

Death is a very intriguing subject. It is inevitable for all, there is only one way to die in peace and that is to make peace within one's self. I liked your thought provoking poem, Caren.

Death is always hard to cope with, the closer to you the more so, very well expressed!

Thank you Arthur; death is a difficult subject because the feelings are so different than any other time.
