Well I know only too well what you mean, my wife has to endure my mood swings, caused by Parkinsons disease, I think she is wonderful to put up with them personally

sherrygreywolf:

Somewhow, even when we know how our loved one's react
to stress, when any of them become distant and withdrawn,
it feels as if they have abandoned us. I think we keep
hoping one day they will trust us enough to let us in
so they don't have to deal with it alone.

thanks for sharing
good luck in the contest
love,
jan

I think this was an emotion that a lot of people can relate to. You caught it exactly as it happens and feels, in a modicum of words. Excellent job! Deb :0)

Hey sis
Never been paid so well to read such beautifully sad words. Well done. I do like the final draft much better -- well done! Deb

A beautiful tanka poem expressing great sorrow for the loved one no longer wants him as before. Their relationship has cooled. Achieved technical and expressive. Congratulations and good luck.

When you love someone what they feel you feel..you become as one..there's nothing much worse than feeling shutout...makes for a real loneliness..it's at those times we sometimes just need to be still and pray..all will come to the surface and as you found it had nothing to do with you..just a job issue. God bless.

Well written poem . Great form and it flows well down the screen. It reminds me of me, I tend to shut down when I'm stressed. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful and descriptive! Most everyone experiences a heartbreak at some time or another, so most everyone should be able to identify with this...

I thought this was a perfect example of how most couples feel just before a divorce or separation. A perfect 5-7-5-7-7 syllable count and a strong poem worth reading
