Words in this comment box can not express my feelings for this poem. There truly is nothing I can say.. just gotta lump in my throat. to the gut with this piece, powerful write!

This poem truly tore my heart apart. I'm speechless honestly and I have no idea how to comment. When death strikes a person, all it does is linger within them. Restless movements and always looking at the clock, I loved that bit because everyone can relate to it. I also liked how you took us through that day, heartbreaking as it is. You are brave for posting this, thank you for sharing. *hugs* 5/5. //James

I had to come back and read this again.
It's one of those poems you can't read just one time and let it go... so damn touching... thank you so much for sharing this poem with us.. you never know who you might touch when sharing a painful memory... just thank you!

Very powerful. I love the use of time, the repetition, its deep and profound meaning. 5/5

Nearly an emotional wreck after reading this, I think that would be appropriate. This is so So Sad, I'm so sorry :( You really captured EvErYtHing, the impact this leaves the reader with is breath-taking. It's like you're actually there with you. I really really like this. Thank you for sharing, Poetess.

5/5

Usually lose interest on these long writes but this one had me glued.

I have read this a few times over the last few days, and still can't really find the "right" words.

This is a beautifully written piece that exemplifies the heaviness, confusion, and normalcy in death. It's perfectly raw and real, and that's why it's so striking. Thank you for sharing your truth, dear heart. Sending you love.

Liz, all I can say is that this really moved me to tears because it seemed you remembered every little detail and I can feel the emotion seeping through.
Death of a loved one is never easy even after many years.

All the best, Em
