Sorrow

I don’t want
to let
you go
it is
the space
of one movement
past fingertips
an empty hallway
where heartbeat
stops
and breath
exist to be
just an echo
of sorrow

I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

helen,
Everything okay? This bodes an actual experience. I hope not...but peace and love to you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Helen, very well-written. I also hope it's not from something you've personally experienced. Thanks for sharing.

Deeply emotional and heartfelt. Thank you for purging a painful experience with us.

Given the genuineness of your poetry, this too must be.
Your emptiness is palpable.
I'm sorry for your loss.
