From the heart of a soldier's wife...


Poem Artwork


 


Everyone thinks

I’m the girl to

go to…

the one who has

her head on straight.

Who has been there,

done that…

who can mend anything…

If they only knew

how screwed up

I am.

Aching, forlorn…

far away

from my heart,

which is held by

the one who

loves me

best of all.

I’m enveloped

by people

who are

droning their words.

I try to join in…

to appear just

like them…

but inside I’m as

as cold as

the grave.

There’s a

vast gaping void

that once brimmed

with joy…

Now I am lost,

and alone,

cast adrift in the sea

of a life that once was

full of hope,

and delight.

I’m begging,

I’m pleading

for you to return…

Bring my heart

and come home

to me.

 

I need you.

What a beautiful, stirring poem. You dive right into another human and bring forth her emotions powerfully, yet so simply. Your poems have never a wasted word - they stay with one, and are enriching experiences.

Oh Lord . . . this one brought tears!
How utterly helpless we can feel in certain seasons in our lives.
I don't have any words for this!
I was moved deeply!

Michelle,

This one made me lump up--oh, this is powerfully penned. Very well done, moving tribute to soldier's wives...beautiful. As a Veteran, I thank you for remembering.

(((((HUGS))))) and love, Karla.

Powerful opening up with a deep outpouring of real feelings. It is not easy when people always expect us to be the strong, the tall, the knowing and the caring when no one knows or seems to care how we feel beneath the veneer. You drove this point home well in this one and I felt in deep inside where I also hide my ache.

Poignant and compassionate, Michelle. Your empathy shines via your verses here. The situation you describe is very sad and unfortunately, it continues to be stark and real. Thank you for sharing this offering. Love and peace to you,

Regis
