Mulling
Why do I worry about you,and mull away the spaces where you are no longer?
Why do I fill my thoughts with your absence as though you mean so much,
I don't hear even your whisper enquire of my well being and yet all these years
I cannot leave. Even though my constant mulling brings no understanding to a
Endless furrowing of melancholy, I still won't leave! for I am afraid that you are the glue,
The final fortress before I let go into the abyss of nothing remaining, of everything
Changing but then maybe it's not you that has crafted this chasm,but instead my ever
Changing nature,drawn to life's endless possibilities but always just a little afraid of
Letting go of the all too familiar past.I wonder if you ever truly knew me or we were just
Limpets that clung to the same past and have never let go!
Would that I ever had the honesty when your disrespectful words show such little knowledge
Of who I am, then maybe my heart would rest, but this glue is destiny,ensuring for now, that
In this place of loyalty I remain, but then how long before a stronger tide?

Perfect description of my mother's (She-72, he-84) ex-husband. Except for not living together and no nookie, you would never know they aren't still married. She uses him all the time and he doesn't mind....truly the one love of his entire life. I would send this poem to my mom for a wake-up call, but she knows what she is. Just ask her current husband.
Grreaat and perfect poem.
Best,
invierno |

I have known the struggle of these types of thoughts and the choices we "mull" around in our brainage!!! The title definitely sums it up and oh so perfectly.
Great lines, great poem!
Things have a way of working out.

| Very good. I'm sure this will strike a chord. There are many mullers, but most mull alone, never sharing their thoughts. The bond of loyalty and the fear of change is very strong; that bond is rarely broken. Mullers are not inclined to be bond breakers. Those limpets of of a shared past, like the ones that cling to rocks, hold tight even in the most violent of storms. |

Very true to many . Great post on how things are perceived , yet most just do what your write says and mulls through, never to change. What do you do.

| Direct and full of vulnerability. The passion is there along with a quivering lip. So many questions and so little time. How long can one hold out until the unknown draws us near? Beautiful write my friend. You always manage to stir the still. Great job! |

| For some, I think the stronger the tide, the harder they cling. Some believe that they deserve the storm. |

Hi Anna,
It can only take a second to fall in love,
but a lifetime to deal with the agony.
Well scripted.
