it was inevitable leaving the room she waited at the top of the stairs for the laughter for the sounds of familial camaraderie never disappointed she sat on her bed hugging her pillow dressed in a hand me down nightie and crying quietly in the dark summer night tired and hot, she opened a window heard the crickets sing heard the wind in the maple tree and wondered if there would ever be a place where she felt she belonged silence caught her attention good night words whispered stairs creaking quickly hiding her wakefulness she waited until they slept and then she left her bed outside she stood in the dark unafraid of what was there knowing that the pain she felt from the loneliness was worse than any that would befall her it was inevitable that she would remember those nights and live them again alone wistful wishes for imagined times with them hearing laughter but those days would never return never be again and in the dark of night she stands listening to the wind and the crickets hearing the ghostly sounds of familial camaraderie |

knowing that the pain she felt from the loneliness was worse than any that would befall her ==================================== that verse went thru me like a mirror reflection.... this reads like a haunted whisper in the wind... Not even reading it in "sanctuary" can easy ache you've penned so well. Love the presentation and style of this Sharon. very well done. Of all the things in me I could never be, |

Absolutely a wonderful poem to read, though I know the subject matter is more wistful and longing, tinged with deep regrets and mental chess games of 'what if'. The italicized sections added a more insightful look into the mind of the speaker, contrasted nicely with the surrounding descriptions. Well penned, PdV! |

Ridiculously eloquent and beautiful. I'm glad I found this one! She said burn ... together. |
