Widows tears

Do you see her silently sitting there?
Her head in her hands to catch the tears,
Each new drop a plea for the pain of loss to end,
Scintillating with the love of a life now spent.
While the ghost of her beloved watches her weep from afar,
Lightly whispering his love to her through the breeze,
To bring his song to the ear that listens for his voice,
His ghost tears as real as those that stream down her cheeks.
Watch the liquid grey that lines her eyes,
As she looks back at all the yesterdays, the perfect times...
While wishing he would still be here for the tomorrows,
Unsure if she can survive, without him, with this sorrow.
Someone please steal these widows tears.....
Her shadowed face the definition of grief,
Red raw with the painful slap of anguish,
Soothed with tears that caress the hurt from her cheeks,
Let this frail shell of loneliness, be free in Solitude and peace.
Someone please steal these widows tears.....
Before she throws them away.

Yes, Phil, this is very like the feeling of having lost your true love. The empty aching void is just too much sometimes to bear and coils out like a serpents tongue to lash tears and anger and frustation because you just can't take it at that moment. Strength does return, but the loss of that great emotion never leaves your heart or soul for a moment.
Hugs,
Rita |

| I wonder if this is something you are going through, or if your just going from placing youself in another's shoes. My sister in law is a twenty two year old widow, and seeing her go through these feelings was hard. I wish the best for you... |

Oh, Phil... this is extra0dinary. Beautifully, beautifully written and so full of compassion and understanding! I am impressed - not just with the words but with your ability to empathize and to know another's heart. Wow - you're amazing!
With apologies for taken so long to get here,
SNM
