Yours

Karoline

My body singing

Your name my mantra

I am tethered by your smile 

 

Collecting the moment

I fracture silently

Yet louder than ever before

 

As you leave, I wither

Though you take me with you

Unbeknownst, a coin in your pocket

 

The most beautiful heart

I am shattered

As I run my hands through my hair

      Hi Brian!
      Thanks for your comment 😊
      'I fracture silently' is because everytime he leaves again I feel like a fissure is opening up in my heart. 'A coin in your pocket' is in reference to him unknowingly carrying my love with him after he's left, and 'I am shattered' is because this has been ongoing for so long that I sometimes feel there is no piece of me left unbroken anymore.

      Sorry for getting so heavy!

        THANKS FOR YOUR POEM AND EXPLANATION ~ I love a bit of Irish Intrigue and whenever I\'ve been in N Ireland you all have a way with words and the CRAIC ! I\'m glad I was not too far off in my analysis ! I gave my love a Toy Monkey for her to remember ME by ~ She gave me a PANDA (a TOY one !) to put on my Pillow. I was born & raised in Liverpool which is why I have a touch of Irish sentimentality and love of language especially Poetry ! Every Blessing to you and Your Girls ~ Yours BRIAN Thanks for adding me as your First MPS Friend. B.
