# Pillow Comfort (Bitter-Sweet Regret) Poem by Sonya Florentino

# Pillow Comfort (Bitter-Sweet Regret)

Rating: 5.0


I’m not done with you, my dear, no, not yet
Still can’t forget you, my bitter-sweet regret
I still remember your smile and sweet embrace
As I hold your soft warm pillow to my face

The tears still fall, I am sad to say
I still dream about you both night and day
Oh I still miss you, my bitter-sweet regret
I clutch your pillow, yes, still soaking wet!

........, and still soaking wet! Very emotional conclusion which justifies the concept beautifully and tenderly.

Hi SONYA - Short but so so sweet! It happens to us all and if it's any consolation REAL MEN cry into their pillows also. Many of the lovely and supportive Poemhunter Family find it is very cathartic (healing) to put our heartaches into verse and share it with the FAMILY! I will be your friend if you will be mine! I find the Phipino (and Phipina) poem on PH very emotive and living in NYC (an amazing City) probably stirs other aspects of the muse as well! Well done thanks for sharing - I've given you a 10 X. Please read 'The Silence of the Night' and 'Gentleness is a lost Virtue' THANKS!
