Where are we going with this.......whoa, what a kicker........didn't see that one coming.
can realize for sure. this piece is packed with lots on the emotive, but has power through out. the imagery superb. the ending a complete knockout punch. love endings like that.......nice write.......don
You were hinting that the husband was deceased, but your ending is even more surprising. Bravo!
Hard to write anything, your poem knocked all the air out of me. A fucking powerful poem. I liked how it conveyed so much anger with no hint of victimization (is that a word?)
Thanx, BD
Another powerfulllll write from out Curious.
Love the flow and the punch in the end.
Leaving, after so long can be hard.
All the luck of the Irish my friend ~!!
Love this poem, hits the heart with a Whooshhhh~!!!
I experienced this feeling that after fifteen years of living with a partner, the saddest thing was not that we were parting, but that we never truly knew each other in any special way. Loved this poem

... like a train, massively heavy... but in each moment, it is gathering strength and speed. Nicely written; understandable, and very good.
Hell your not going anywhere, you know when you've got it good ... ;- )
