Her sorrow

 

 

 

 

Her sorrow

 

I have tasted sadness

rolling down her face

Searching for those yesterdays,

emptiness to trace

~

Her heart as if a dagger

is thrust so deep inside

With tears to fill a cavern

and pain she can not hide

~

This loss, so overwhelming

of weight too hard to bear

Her sorrow is my sadness

in friendship I do share

~

I long to take her grieving,

eliminate her pain

Lock it deep within my soul

to never show again

It is so frustrating to watch someone we care about suffer.
But, Jack...some folks carry their pain deep inside...they can't write about it, they can't share it...
The lady in question here, does have an outlet. Thank God, she can write about her pain...she can wet the page with her tears...and that is good, because she isn't holding it inside, where it blackens everything that touches her.
I know you are worried my friend, as I am too...but give the lady credit for her good sense.
And smile, my friend...

Thanks so much beautiful lady. I can't help but worry, but friends like you make the pain less.

I can relate to this one, Jack. So often, we go through life and feel too much, or at least I do. There are times when the feeling becomes too painful, and we retreat within ourselves to the point that our pain becomes something that is quieted by being apart from the rest of the world. I know that I do this...retreat at times in order to get right with everything that I feel...with feeling too much.

The last lines of this piece are quite beautiful, because you bring it back to the idea of someone else offering selflessly to help someone carry their burdens. Beautifully written and completely felt.

I feel her sorrow too, the way you manage to get your readers into the emotion you are feeling when you are writing is just amazing, the sorrow will soon fade as time goes by. I love this one as usual
