Berteena Harmony Of The Soul Poet Free verse

Torn Seams

Carrying the weight of loss...

After all these years,
I still have unanswered questions
ripping me apart.

Trying to repair
an unraveling life.

I don’t know how
to sew, not like you.
 
Needle in the eye,
tears in my pocket.

Stitches rubbing together
break me in two
and I don’t know
what to do.

Turning myself 
inside out over
losing you.

Time cannot heal torn seams.

Gregory Richard Barden March 1, 2019 at 3:39 AM Beautiful write, Berteena - wonderful phrasing and a poignant, melancholy atmosphere, with crimped, dark edges ... I enjoyed this very much. Blessings, and keep up the great work! :-) <3

John Gondolf February 25, 2019 at 5:51 AM Some people never get over a lost love and others move on like nothing happened. Nicely penned, Berteena, I can feel the emotions in this. All my best.
