I'm so scared,
Lord ~
He doesn't look at me
like he used to
anymore.
He doesn't touch me
like he used to
anymore.
He doesn't smile at me
like he used to
anymore.
Lord ~
I know there is no one else
but there is not even me
anymore.

My heart goes out to you, Cheryl. I will be praying that his love for you be rekindled as you guys begin this new chapter in your lives. Your poem said so much within its brevity. Much love, vj

The graphic shows goes along beautifully. When we are preoccupied our partners come second to what bugs us. I hope that he will get through his troubles and find the affection and attention that he used to give.
Your repetitions are very effective. Best wishes.

Oops, now there I go being a goof.... What I meant to say is that this is exquisite, displaying a depth of emotion that betrays the simplicity of the form. You are a master. *bowing down*

This is an extemely moving poem and prayer. You have written it with such a gracious insight; no resentment, just tenderness and affection. I add my prayers for a change and light to return.

This is so sad, but written well. Some things in life are so difficult and scary. My prayers are with you. God bless, Lora

Very sad write Cheryl. The poem is good, the story as old as mankind. These midlife’s can be lived through but they are difficult times for everyone. Mine almost killed me and I did not have anything happen to me as what your family has had to endure. Please know I cherish your friendship and appreciate those times you were there to help me and please know I am here.
Your friend,
Jim

Well this just about did me in, i mean really, my heart is on the floor here, ripped out by the sorrow and loneliness i feel as i read and re-read this amazing prayer. You have endured so much in all of what has been thrown at you in life, so many assaults and I have to believe it is all for some yet unrevealed purpose; but to have the sense of isolation i feel here is, frankly, just too much and I find I must join you in asking for this situation to be touched by Him. I will pray, and weep, and stand with you in this circumstance. Blessings and best wishes, ~richard
