Crisp leaves fall outside against morning dew
Teardrops stain my pillow as I think of you
I wince as I hold onto a love that's still so true
But now my new life has begun
I get the kids to school with a blinding headache
Everyone believes my smile but it's just fake
Have to keep it together for all of our sakes
I can't wait for the day to be done
Your side of the bed, well, it's still made.
Your dimples, your memory, just won't fade.
This is our sacred place where we once played.
And my heart weighs a ton

If I didn’t know better I wouldn’t think this is fiction 🙂 Great poem!
Thanks!! Appreciated!
A poignant look back on love gone your short-line rhyming captures the depth of on-going loneliness - - thanks Christina for this piece of well-crafted fiction which feels very real
Yes, I am always writing about love, I thought I'd try my hand at fiction. I have been on the receiving end of this type of loneliness before but not with my husband. Thanks so much for your kind review!
Been there, done that, t-shirt rotted away. But your words bring it all back. Nicely written.
Thank you so much dusk, appreciate your words, sorry I brought it back.
