There is no greater pain than having hurt someone you only meant to love appropriately, magnanimously, with the purest part of who you are.
Except that pain of feeling unforgiven by someone you hurt but only meant to love, being dispossessed and friendless.
There is no greater sorrow than having to bear the silent hostility of that one you love immeasurably, passionately, with the eternal flame of your very soul.
Except that sorrow borne on a piercing wind of indifference whose icy reminders stab deep, ever melting in a fiery love that will not die.
A very painful confession wrapped in in beautiful verse.
Sometimes we have to "really" let things go before they
can come back to us. Superb poetry Dawn!
These words are very powerful and true.
Well done, indeed!

Dawn--this is truly a well written poem. I like how you did this. Your style is original and somehow you always manage to dig deep in emotion and put it out there. I can feel this.
Searing and jagged in both form and content, Dawn. You have plunged to the depths of an agony that is all too familiar to us all. Misunderstanding is a hard pill to swallow. Excellently portrayed, thank you, Kate xx
Very profound, insightful...and sadly, all too true. The people we love the most in our lives are the ones we (I) always seem to hurt. A moving, well written poem that really captures the remorse (guilt) that follows. "There is no greater sorrow than having to bear the silent hostility of that one you love." Excellent.
Through interviews with Lauren's doctors, along with those of other physicians, researchers, and clinicians who specialize in lung cancer, readers will have a better understanding of the disease.
