Home Is Such A Sad Place I dried my eyes for the last time yesterday, felt the tears disappear the way you did, shaking your head, saying there was nothing left to say. I cried my last as I walked through the dreams we shared seeing the places on the walls where the pictures used to hang - those of you and us, of our children, and everyone else we loved. I slowly moved through each room marking were each piece of furniture sat, your favorite chair, your corner of the couch, where your magazines always lay. I stopped before the fireplace where just last winter we loved each other, resaid our vows, drank with arms entwined from the other's glass. I stood just outside the door looking in one more time and felt the cold that hadn't been there before. I wiped my eyes again, felt tears trying to wash my hands away, Home is such a sad place when love doesn't live there anymore. w. james beard, jr. © November 2001 [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 11-06-2001).] |

Very sad write here. A home is no longer a home when the love is gone. Then it is just four walls of emptiness. You describe it very well. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Felt the pain here, very sharp. This brings to mind an old song by Rose Royce (are you old enough to have heard of it?) "Love don't live here anymore" So sad when things go this way, Sandra |

Poetry such as this grabs me by the heart and makes it skip a beat. I hope it helped to write about it. ~softly nodding~ |

Such a sad tune. You've expressed the pain and loss quite well. Four walls does not make a home. It's just a house now. |

Jimmy--If this is a personal expression, I'm so sorry..I know this feeling and it hurts. Your poem really shows the emotion of being in a house without love. Hugs! |

I certainly appreciate all the heart-felt responses from everyone and I am happy to say this is not me - can't really say that any of the really sad things I write of are me...just the shoes I try to step into to put into words what many cannot. Thanks again for your read, your concern and your words... jimmy |
