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 |

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.
