Aftermath Poem by Jeremy Horsford
Aftermath
I use you stare at you for days on end.
We use to talk about everything and
nothing. I can still hear your voice,
but your words are silent. Your unspoken
words, by a non-existent mouth haunt me
daily.
You pierced my heart and mortalised my
soul...Death in it's totality is now an
inconceivable possibility.
Why did you leave? I know it is not my
fault, but my heart breaks before I awake
and after I fall asleep.
The profiteers from tears, have left me
unable to manage the pain and the thought
of our disagreements, no longer bears
meaning.
So where to from here...? Feeling I took
our time for granted?
A haunting piece, Jeremy. Time eventually fades such things but the hurt never full disappears
Only if what you said wasn't true. The above relates to a challenging experience sixteen years ago and the sad thing is...despite moving on, I can remember it all too well.
Hopefully I haven't opened old wounds, but a door to your subconscious.
A beautifully conceived meaningful poem that is rich in rhyme and rhythm. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
I am grateful for your time and comment. I'll catch up with you and yours shortly.
