My Inner Voice

(just my racing thoughts)

as i listen to my inner voice

i realize i am alone

by choice

 

divorced

once upon a time

while i was yet in my prime

 

widowed

along the way

seems like just yesterday

 

tonight

i sit alone

by candlight

 

writing poetry

deep into the night

i am lonely

 

alone by choice

as i listen to

my inner voice

 

tonight i think about

the death of my son

my only one

 

 it grieves me so

i don't want

to let him go

 

a drunk driver

did this to me

quite recently

 

a year

and three months ago

to be exact

 

you see next week

would be

his birthday

 

so i write tonight

all alone

by candlelight

 

as i listen to

my inner voice

i am alone by choice

I am so sorry for the loss of your son.

Bravo!

This is brilliant. I love the flow and oh, this is so sad. I wish I could take that candlelight that is casting shadows on your walls and transform them into warm white roses and fill the room with such sweet fragrance that it would offer you comfort. Your sorrow can be felt with every line and my heart is breaking for you and your loss; oh so many losses.

Wonderfully written.
