in a heartbeat

loss fills my entirety
taking breath and stilling heart
it grates - bone against bone -
lingering
where once lived happiness

I dreamt, last night,
of birth and death
then woke cursing
the fleeting distance
you lived between the two




I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S

You speak of stuff between planes
that most cannot imagine, Ruth...
and tender sweet breath to both.

Only you do it so well...

Achingly sad.  I too have cursed the distance between.  Well written.

I have those kind of dreams when I miss my sister (which is everyday when I look in the mirror~~)
