For some - time's passing, brings relief for me, it brings exponential grief each day that passes with no song, makes it harder to carry on. The days grow cold and I do too everyday is chilled, by thoughts of you thoughts of how I loved and lost - how when you went, I paid the cost. A perfect love now dead and gone, you were my all, my hope, my song the years gone by bring no relief instead I feel, exponential grief. You held my hand when night was drear you kept me safe and loved me dear I gave to you my soul and heart and grief goes on through teardrops start. All through the years you were the one we walked love's path in glorious sun now all is dark without relief, as I learn of exponential grief. Each time I look and you're not there it fills me more with deep despair each smile I see, that is not yours lead me to tears and bitter moors Each day, each hour I think of you till coloured thoughts, turn back the blue, the seconds tick in heartfelt grief, I pray for - exponent relief. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

You surely did capture one of the difficult stages of grief. Whether through separation, divorce or death, it is all the same, when one we love, be it a relative, a lover or a friend, is no longer in our lives. Well written.

Reminds me of a song but I can't quite place it...but it contains lines something like this..."They say that time will heal...but for me time is standing still." Hope time doesn't stand still for you for too long Kethry....James |

Beloved one you and only you know how much of this is so true thank you darling one. Yes it is like that, time doesn’t move at a normal rate at all. Some say I shouldn’t still be feeling this, but truly how could I not. Grief is something that I keep for the pain is something that is mine and mine alone. I know that doesn’t make sense. It wouldn’t to anyone else but you, since you share each day with me. If I thought the greyness was hard, it is nothing to the denseness of the blackness which seems to have consumed my soul. Thank you darling heart for you and your ability to write my heart In Years To Come In years to come I’ll still hold you in me You shall not fade from my memory Your spirit lighting my dreaming night Your touch within gifting me with sight The air around me will still fizz like this When I close my eyes I’ll feel your kiss Love like this never will fade from view It will fill my heart with the touch of you In years to come I’ll still have you in me You’ll stay within touching me magically No faded memories of sorrows touch I’ll know I was loved by you so much There’ll be no tears shed in my days I’ll not see the world through sorrows haze I will hold you there within my heart The truth of love will n’er depart In years to come I will have you still You’ll lie within strengthening my will My spirit won’t bow and it won’t bend No matter what my soul will mend I’ll not see pain when I think of you The sun will shine and love will be true And though you aren’t here with me I will walk on still steadfastly In years to come I will know love’s name I’ll still feel the warmth of your soul’s flame Marsha   Love you always And forever Slushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

In two words, you've found the most appropriate description imaginable for a place in life no one wants to be... that's so hard to leave behind. Wonderful write! |
