you too feel the pain
and cannot stop this grief
and sadness
from consuming you
flowers seem like the right thing to do
but i wish you would
open up
and cry and shout
like i do
let me know how you hurt
show me your heart
say it aloud
blame me
for letting you down
again
it is not only my blood that is lost
it is yours as well
you too can cry and shout
and together we will try
again
but for now
it is
you
i want
and love
not your silence
felt.

DeleteThis is for real and would be even more so with some punctuation.
ReplyDeletethanks so much. i really struggle with punctuation and find myself putting in commas and dashes and then removing them. could you do me a favour? my email address is jenny@coulters.co.za - won't you put in the punctuation where you think fit? hope this isn't a cheek. everyone is so friendly and encouraging on this site.

ReplyDeletePride is often foolish - your words are wonderful!
