Not lying still, but rising up amidst the pangs is what we must do. Sadly, not everyone has the strength or will to do so. These words are, as you put it, are poignant and sad, but the last line provides hope.
Both sad and sensitive, tumi. Your 5: 7: 5 flows so very well, its form followed but with emotion let loose. Many thanks for sharing your first and very succesful Senyru!

thanks for the kind review,
I'm glad you enjoyed reading
Amazing Senryu (Haiku is about nature and Senryu is about everything else which is not nature)(They have the same 5, 7, 5 x 3 line rules) about heartbreak. You fleck an excellent picture for your reader of the sting which the emotional pain causes and the bitter memories which haunt. Lovely work, Tumi. Very finely penned! Thank you for sharing...
