Roy Wilde Poet Free verse

Never Will

I spoke...

You listened but did not hear
Too distracted to care
Didn't see the weight I was carrying

And now what?

Now that I'm gone do you feel it?
Do you finally know how it crushed me?

I alone was responsible for the savage emptiness,
For the uncontrollable sadness that tore out my heart each day...

But you'll never know, will you?

Never know how I needed you to hear what I could not say
To carry, just one thing...

And now...

You never will!

Susan Ashley September 11, 2024 at 12:13 PM Dear Roy, it's so frustrating and hurtful to feel like you're not being heard. You express your emotional needs being neglected, your feelings of leaving and the realization that your departure didn't make a difference to the person you left, the person you needed to actually listen to you, with poignant poetic finesse. Soulful poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Roy Wilde September 14, 2024 at 5:00 AM Thank you Susan, you heard me!
