"Distracted"

I wish I knew the answers
instead, I find more comfort
distracting myself
from the questions
mourning your death
is emotionally
draining

I busy myself with work, family, friends
Trying my best to appear interested
I write, paint the porch
ride my bike
have a few beers
sleep

Few realize
part of me is forever missing,
the part I gave to you.
You deserved it
Now...you're gone, while I remain
distracted

perhaps when you least expect it something~ or better still, someone... might distract you from your distraction...

This is such a good poem, effective. It reminds me of funerals I've gone to, and tried to think of something else all the way through so I wouldn't cry so much. But I couldn't bring it off.

I'm with you Pilgrimage. I can always count on tearing up during a funeral.

Bags, when you gave a part of yourself to that person, they gave you a part of themself to you also.... they will live on in you through your memories.... Your distractions only make the healing process take longer.... you cannot run... hide or heal... your choice.

Love, Light and Peace,

Sherry

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.

Thanks all. This was a hard one for me. Kept these things bottled up for awhile now.
