Underneath it all...

Missing image


It was the way
you made me feel like grace.

In the sum of your
being I was
something.

When the sparks blew over
and the goodbyes were
spent,
I sat shattered
a glass broken.

Try as I might,
I can't forget
being cradled by your
whispered touch,
longing to feel
something
 to tell me
 that
I still matter.

Love  like fuzz
 in your belly button
is a constant reminder
of something
that you wore well.

Author notes

As soon as I saw your picture I remembered a picture by one of my favorite artists. You have to see it to understand how alike they are.

I want to add, you will get through this..

    Beautifully spoken! I could feel this as I read it. Almost as if read my mind here. It still echoes in my mind as I write this. Great write my friend!

    I think everyone can relate to this poem. We all want to be made to think and feel that we matter. We all want to be important to someone and if we are lucky - we find someone that gives us that sense of worth. A beautiful poem.

      Thank you so much.. that is exactly how I feel.. it might sound lame.. but I try everyday to reach out to people around me.. It is the small things that I believe matter..

      but.. being made to feel wanted by the ONE..

      truly is grace..

    "being cradled by your

    Cradled by your whispered touch... those are the words that reached out to me Cat. Those are feelings that so many of us can relate... somethings.. we arent allowed to forget... they live in us like bacteria, growing, until sometimes, the pain is all we feel, the memory playing in our heads like a saturday night special....

    This is beautiful, like you. Your words here speak volumes... in my heart and in my life Cat.

    xoxo, Criss

    Well, to tell you what I think, I think this is very touching and nicely done. Are we the same people as writers as we are when we talk and live? Always an interesting question. Your gentleness is sometimes both amazing and beguiling. Hahaha!

    Good job and good luck in the contest, ma'am.

    Sighhh...Beautiful & tender, much like the Poet that penned it. This is ever so poignant, Sweetie. Good luck in the contest. Just remember this: we were blessed. That never ends. You, m'Lady, will always matter. ALWAYS. You honor your friendship well. I am not surprised. Wanda
