“I
love you”
He says
He says
He
loves me, but
all
locked up,
in
deep places,
where
years hide
that
once bright
light
Now
so dim I only
dare
dream, that
patience
memory,
hope
might
one day
resurrect
what
he buried
God
knows why
I'm
still here,
and
I'm still burning
brightly
enough, for
a
whole family
to
survive
For
how long?
I
feel my light fading
No
one can go it alone
It
takes two plus
effort
And
that's on a good day
Lose
any of those,
like
any good boy scout knows,
there's no fire.
It's Wednesday, so I'm heading to the poet's pub: dVerse to link up for OpenLinkNight. My buddy Brian Miller is hosting, so stop by, grab a beverage, and enjoy some poets.

Sad what this depicts. You captured the pain of a shattered love really well, uniquely. Good writing. I enjoyed.
sorry i am late...had meetings all morning...love the concrete shattered in the opening...and this carries a lot of feeling too...the loneliness that is somewhat unspoken with having to carry that light for the whole family....felt piece...
very nice--a poetry night somewhere sounds heavenly!
this is a felt and emotional piece.. it takes some effort to keep that fire burning for sure..spoke very personally to me as well...so thanks for this...and welcome at dVerse..
Very moving, Tina!
I love it, but it makes me sad, but I love it...very moving!
Hi Tina,
And let the flickering flames of content, glow brightly.
And Tina, my dear friend, I mentioned you on my latest posting and thanked you for that "Sunshine Award" :)
Look after yourself and be well.
In kindness, Gary
Words that are true.
