How do you live when your soul is being ripped from your chest
When every breath - every waking moment - is death?
When all you held dear, when all you loved best,
Has gone the way of the wind, by the way of a whispered breath!
Your heart stills, and then! Beats frantically
You think - you pray - you hope, foolishly!
That somehow, someway, this has been a cosmic mistake!
And that, in truth, your heart did not break
This bitter dream will end, your pain will not linger!
And when eyes flutter open, there is still a ring on your finger!
But no... it is not so, you open eyes upon ruin and can only scream and scream
You wish not for ragged breaths of pain, but for sleep's eternal dream
How can one walk about the world faced with other's love and be outside of it?
Never able to push the thought away, never able to forget
To not be able to reach out your ahnd and touch the thing that torments
No welcoming kisses, longing looks or stolen moments
You are left with nothing, NOTHING!
All because - carelessly - you've lost everything.

I have been in such a bad way myself , I have not been looking up much... this sounds so full of pain. What's going on girl ? You only write like this when you or someone close to you is on the deep end treading water.

Thank you for reading, I didn't recognize you at first, with the other screen name, it'd been awhile. "..not been looking up much.." that pretty much sums it up. My husband (of five yrs) and I have been going through some things. I know some will say it's nothing to whine about, but it's hard to do when it's your own heart
How have you been, I've missed your insights and thoughts.

Very poetic, I feel some Shakespeare influence here, very romantic and whimsical, i LOVE IT. Oh my God, can't get enough of it....I can relate to it too, the ending is by far the strongest and makes me kind of want to cry. Lol. Gorgeous, Mel!!

Thank you, although you give me far to much credit sometimes But bless you for reading just the same - it's good to hear from you again and get back into this!
