People all around me,
nobody understands,
can't talk to anyone.

They try to make it seem better,
non understanding apologies,
filling up the air,
"I'm sorry he passed away."

Of everyone around,
nobody comprehends,
everyone talks to me,
but I can't say a word.

My throat closed up,
mouth so dry.
Why can't they all
just leave me alone?
Why can't I get some peace?

Why did you have to leave?
One unspoken word,
drifting through the air around,

Death.

Tell them to leave you alone. They will.

l'artiste,
Understanding your hurt.People do sometimes say very odd and some foolish things at these sad times.But they mean well and are just trying to be there for you,when all you want to do is hide. Do as you feel you must. Tell your real need to some one you trust to pass along. sincerely.jo

Thanks for the advice... I wrote this a long time ago but for my first poem I decided to go with one of my beginning poems.

Welcome to Pip, dear artist.

Your first entry shows your skills.

I second what jo said, people mean well, but under certain circumstances one becomes intolerant of whatever distracts us from "going through the pain".

Protocol can be very empty, but underneath it all, there are currents of care to help wash away the tears when you are ready.   May you have the peace you need ...~K
