Those Last Messages

I can’t stop crying now!!! 
Confused
Laying here in tears with no one near
My wailing in silent as my body trembles 
I can’t stop crying now!!!

I’m so confused by those last messages 
My heart breaks so hard
Shattering to the floor
Will you pick up my pieces-
To throw them or mend them
I’m not sure anymore 

I love beyond love, unconditionally 
What I wanted was just love, family, a partner to love-
All under one roof
You couldn’t handle that

My heart wasn’t welcome anymore 
Now you made me so confused
Your last messages tug at my heart
Plucking my strings 

I still see you when I sleep
Beautiful as before 
Maybe I’ll sleep forever to be with you

Darlene De Beaulieu November 4, 2020 at 11:40 AM Hello Paul Murray, I agree with silent One writing is good therapy. I was married for 10 years. My husband wanted to go on a trip to visit a family friend. He cheated on me. In a bedroom for 2 hours. that hurts! I will never know why because he died. So you want to talk? Do soup Mail. Enjoy your day my friend

Silent One November 4, 2020 at 7:23 AM I am glad writing is a therapy for you.. Glad you can express yourself.. I was in a relationship with someone who had mental health problems and died from suicide, so I can understand your pain.. Paul Murray November 4, 2020 at 10:37 AM I am very sorry for your loss. Mental illness comes in many forms and the suffering in them is there own. Yet it effects all who loves them Paul Murray November 4, 2020 at 10:36 AM Thank you I am not a great poet or want to be. Yes this is very therapeutic for me. As she and I had this unbelievable connection that I had never felt before in my life. But her avoidance attachment style turns on and kills everything we have. To now there is no more the pain I have suffered is great. .
