      January tenth, we touched like before,But something was missing, we chose to ignore.No sign of an end, no hurtful goodbye,Just silence that settled and never asked why.You reached for my body, but haven't since then,No heat, no cold, just...

      • Okay, that is gut-wrenching. To lay there and live a slow death that you did not sign up for. Not right at all.
        This is executed well

      • Thanks for the thoughtful comment Fia.

        It’s not right and it’s not wrong , it’s just the way it is.Like everything in life,even suffering is impermanent.

      • Quite moving..thank you for sharing

      • I’ve often felt that pain is preferable to apathy. That quiet passing out of space. This haunts & hurts. So often the case, & always hard

      • First the Technical: Excellent consistency with meter, beautifully executed rhyme.
        Composition: Incredible depth. As Willow noted, the piece reflects a falling away, a loss of touch and intimacy with no explanation. It’s a death of sorts, and you’ve painted it perfectly. Really well done.

      • I can’t explain love.I think it’s been so romanticised and commercialised that nobody knows what it is.In my mind there is no singular thing such as love….love might be the collective noun for lots of emotions.
        I think the love that most people talk about is nothing more than an attachment that they can’t live without.
        Hmmm

      If not in the present moment then where else can I be but in that land,that barren,desolate landthe land of suffering.I've been there beforein the land of sufferingI didn't die thenI didn't lose my mind thenI survivedThe Land of Suffering And you...
