You

my husband, the only one I let see all of myself.

 

and why do we wonder

in the dark 

does anyone see me

ringing in my ears, no sound

that none of it matters

that one day you will be gone

and no one will see me at all

your heart

the place that

I am hiding

what is it about the darkness... are we blind in there, or do we see everything....? Darkness make me see what I avoid in the light perhaps?

You are very talented! I'm going to enjoy discovering your work !

A proper metaphor, and some good imagery- "Clencing my hands, Wringing the sheets" very strong emotion, most of it being pretty sad. I've been thinking about some of the same things, but my poetry doesn't seem to come out quite as good.

What a haunting, hollow, longing poem you have written ... but take heart ...

If you took one grain of sand from a beach and cast it from this earth once every 100 years, when all of the beaches of this earth were void of sand .... eternity would be at chapter one. Our lives are but a blip on the horizon of eternity. So then is the duration of our lonliness.

At least that is what I have come to believe.

this is too sad. the death of a relationship..or so it appears. i just love how you can convey such emotion to the reader in such a few short lines.....excellent work.
