Tears Behind the Wall

by justjo66

No one saw me cry
Why did you have to die?
No time to make amends
for all of our past sins

I caused most of the pain
Broke our marital chain
So many years in the past
I thought it was over at last

Massive heart attack
You were unable to come back
Woke by a late night call
Sons couldn't believe it all

Memories now placed on a shelf
I have forgiven you and myself
Only ashes of you remain
A wall holds back the pain

I learned to love again
To him how can I explain?
The deep sorrow I feel
Yet, I know my heart will heal






Once in love writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem about forgiving someone you once loved and accepting things the way they are.

Recognized


My ex-husband died instantly of a massive heart attack Dec. 17th. How could I express my sorrow and not hurt my husband of 39 years feelings? The love I once had for my ex-husband had long turned to love in a different way (of caring about him as a person and not romantic love.) Yet, with his death many emotions rose to the surface...some very painful.
