She is out of the house, yet still here
The burden of her still heavy,
The bills come in so fast
It's hard just to be me.
Antiquated as shit, this old house
has her problems as well
Giving me nightmares, the problems
overrun my mind, oh hell!
Yes she may be out of this big house
But now it's quite empty.
Left to rearrange and clean it
But she is no longer a burden upon me!

You pen the burden some carers carry so well here Christina - the time for a rest home is often so welcome and may you soon feel the benefit of more rest yourself after caring for someone so long.
Thank You Fay! Yes it may take me a while to rest up....
A fine write Christina.
Thank you orchidee!
I get the feeling you needed a break .. this poem is so very ragged and real, I am sure that many here and elsewhere would be able to relate ........... my guess is that it will take some time to get accustomed to the new space in your house .... Neville
You are certainly right Neville! All this space is getting to me but i'll get used to it for sure. Thanks for the read!
I can fully understand your meaning in these words Christine.

When it becomes more than we can handle, it depletes us of our energy. Loving is to relinquish.
