Break the Silence

My lover’s gone.
The silence of her passing
Lives in these rooms.
All those years
are in the noise resounding from the walls,
on the carrier of my heart.

Break the silence, Lord,
please . . .
break the silence of her passing,
and let me sleep.

Beautiful

I think there are times most of us have wanted that silence broken.

Beautiful.

I'm happy that this is not about you, but it resonates with truth, so I suspect you do know...

The person leaves but the love remains along with the memories. Very thoughtful.

Jimmy, this heart-tugging poem may not, thankfully, be about you, but your empathetic words show the depth of your compassionate soul.

Love to you ~ as well as to the one who is suffering such a loss.
