Touch and Go

I once lost a love that so deeply touched my heart, it left me wounded; pricked by thorns that pierced my soul. Sorrow brewed within me. Heartache, I did impart to the point of feeling broken; no longer whole. I withered when hearing, "Life goes on. You'll be fine." The place I wanted to go was at my love's side. I've been off balance, there's nothing I can align. Life is vexing for me when I just want to hide. I can't deny that each day has been touch and go, prowling in shadows, searching for what I had lost, not caring if I tumbled where fickle winds blow or if I drowned in the sea, where memories tossed. To be touched by love that left me so desolate makes it hard to live. I have no move...it's stalemate. April 8, 2021 This or That, Vol 1 Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Jenna, this is something that can happen in love when there is loss - a heart that breaks - it's heart wrenching and penetrates the thoughts with whispers of sorrow... heartbreaking... your pen is a bright and shining star amid many. God bless you sweet lady. With Love, Gina

You've had a busy morning, I see, and I'm very appreciative of your support, Mark. A bit of the heart bled in this one, but I'm no longer at the point of stalemate.

A very nicely composed piece, Jenna. It makes for good poetry when we can draw from past experiences to find the right words to make the reader feel the emotions of our poem. I can feel the emotions of lost love. Hugs.
