And how are you today?

oh  the pain over the years 

in this heart

wrenching, breaking, twisting, dull, sharp, pain

that follows  the euphoria 

of being in love

the loss is almost  impossible to describe

the every day every night

sadness that encompasses the soul

that remains

for awhile     acute

then hurtful

then almost tolerable

than,  at long last

just so deep inside the heart

that it has shrunk

within the crevices , 

buried  forever....

and  at long last...

the every day life goes on

perhaps without intensity

but with tolerance

and at times even 

a quiet satisfaction

sometimes we lose the ones we love...life does go on...but it just seems different...there is something missing, something of that fire that becomes just glowing embers, the flame worn down and out.

you write so beautiful and you always are so honest because you relate and have your very own experiences Thanks so much, Jacob!

I don't know if my instincts are right? are you ok? I mean really ok? I have read two of your writings and I can't help but ask... sorry about that.
