Staggering

I know the feeling only too well Line. Enjoyed the read. xx

Another delightful treat! You have the gift of sublime expression that only you can weave.

Line," My life a blur.".. says's it all. Loss of mate is losing part of self. Your poems, your voice is a sooth balm to others who have experience similar loss. Some have mates, but experience an emotion and physical loss. Their empty absence is emotional abusiveness, I like you my friend, and so sorry for your loss.

I don't feel qualified to totally understand the emotional and physical effects that a loss of a partner can have but I can fully appreciate how grief must exacerbate feelings of uncertainty and alienation. I really like your rhyme and the form you have used here Line. I don't care much for rules in poetry (Iambic Pentameter is not my friend) but it has that sonnet feel - and certainly packs a punch.
