Thanks, for informing me of 'changes' you've made, as I suggested, I think 'just' typos. While adding comments now, I've caught several of my typos/typographical errors! bri ;)
(cont.) Perhaps you simply made up the story, based on the lives of others; by 'simply' I don't mean you didn't 'work' to create your poem! ! Or maybe it IS about your life and a your parent, sibling, exhusband or lover, or a child you bore.
Leigh, I'm thinking now that you had an 'emotional wall' which you had 'built' and 'used', perhaps over decades, against discomforts you associated with someone who finally died.
'your dying then i feel a crack' ...'you're' aka 'you are' oops. And 'I', not 'i'. I think I understand what you are expressing, but your poem would be more impressive with 'better English'.
Poor Humpty. Not even 'all the king's men' could put him 'together again'! : (
'couldnt be put together together again' Did you want 'together' twice? ? And you left the apostrophe out of 'couldn't'. Be more careful proofreading.
Leigh, You've added more poems here? I think I'll take a look. bri : )
