I'm single. So I understand being alone. It really does feel exactly how you wrote. You have a spouse and a happy marriage... And so you must deal. Give thanks for the blessings that you have and pray it continues only to get better. Have a great weekend :)

At first I thought perhaps you were talking of missing your son, but as I read on, I thought this must be her husband. Is he a truck driver? If so, that must be lonely. I would be.
hugs Heidi

Thanks for reading and reviewing. No, my hubby travels for work about every 6 weeks or so. He used to be a truck driver - but that was almost a year ago. Since he's my best friend, I just miss him when he's gone,

Chin up Patty, I hope that this poem has eased some of your feelings. Fanstory is a great way of keeping in touch with people.
Do not count the hours, but plan what you will do on his return

What a great way to address your fears and loneliness by expressing it in a poem! I like the regular rhythm and rhyme and that you use the time to "hone your craft." I also like the positive ending and the looking ahead for his coming home.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate your words of encouragement about my poem. It is a good thing he will be home on Thursday - I'm running out of material to write about! (No, not really.) Thanks for stopping by,

Honest feelings expressed and you have my empathy. Have you ever told hubbie how you feel when he's away ? I presume his work entails travelling and is his way of earning a living for you both. Apart from writing, their are many other ways to cope with feeling lonely and dependent on another for security, solace, etc. One very worthwhile one is to reach out to others, give of yourself to others, society in a spontaneous, natural way - that takes you beyond your own "misery" and also broadens your horizon. Also by engaging with people who share same interests, hobbies and passions is a good way to make (new) friends. I am aware that this is not a literary review, but more a reaction to the content of your poem and some advice. Wish you the best, also with your novel.

Thank you for reading and for showing concern for my situation. My hubby and I have discussed the issue, but it is a vital part of his job to travel once a month or so. I'm coping better than I used to, and I'm developing more skills along the way. Your kind words are appreciated.

I like your writing. It makes me think about my writing. We write what we feel and that helps release our loneliness,blues,fears and tears. In the end of writing we win because we have let our feelings out.I hope you the best with your novel.
