Disconnection

Disconnection

A Poem by Tasha
"

A solider's wife's worse nightmare when getting a phone call.

"
You use to call me everyday
To tell me you were safe
You asked me about the kids
And I said that they were okay
I asked you how you were
And you said things could be worse
I said I loved you and then hung up,


Everyday I sat by the phone
Waiting for you to call me,
Never expecting the worse

The phone finally rings as I dash to it
Saying hello
I listen carefully as the man explains to me,
He says I'm sorry mam but he got a bullet to the chest saving his friend
Silence entered the phone
All I could hear was the dial tone
I hung up in disbelief
And I disconnected myself

A knock at the door started me
As a man with a flag said to me
I'm sorry for your loss is there anything we can do?
I said yes please help me,
Because I don't know what to do

A sudden pain stricken me
As I think about being disconnected from him
It is the worse feeling ever,

I pull out his good suit
To find a letter in the pocket
That said I love you and we will never disconnect,
A necklace of a phone expresses the love we shared,
Realizing we can never have a disconnection

Ta'Sha,

The author chooses how to build the cohesive tension... for you slanting worked.
I've been there as doors were opened to answer knocks and rings - on both sides. Loss is deeply shocking and harrowing. Deeply horrified and total grief to absolute numbness - quite a gamut to work with AND have to live with. I think you caught the gut feel of being left behind... You never understand it... just do your best to survive it.

Take care,
Chris

This is soooo moving and one can only wonder and fear such a call...that is why we should always say 'I love you' as much as possible where fitting....cos we never know...it could be the last time.
Emotional piece but reassuring too.
Thanks so much for share

Wow. This is so deep. Reading this made me so sad. But I love this poem! Beautiful write! A love that is in the military is hard.. we, girls, always would be anxious and worry never ceases to leave our minds. This piece shows how well that is portrayed. I love this piece! It also shows how powerful love can be even when a person is gone, that hold will always be there..
