The dull thudding rain falls softly
As another grey day goes by
I am drowning in misery
And wondering once again, why?
Umbrellas shelter the walkers
As they trudge along the street
And I stare out my window, alone and desperate
The kettle whistles on the stove
But I just let it shriek
I’m too far gone, I can’t move
My limbs are growing weak
The empty bottle hits the floor
As I open my slackened hand
And I wonder once again
Why I loved that man
Wondering

I felt and saw this as I read it through. It was a lyrical painting in an old country home

I was a little nervous. Glad to see your comment that it’s an old one of yours! It is very moving… in a dark sort of way. (Which is the best way, really…)

So when are you going to publish your poems and limericks?! Not on your blog. In a book! xo Whitney

Thanks Whitney, for your words of encouragement! I’m not sure my poetry is worthy!

Oh please! Sharing is caring Dr. Meg. I think the world needs a pocket-sized book of your clever limericks. Besides, if I thought what I had to post was worthy I wouldn’t have a blog. LOL xo

Short, but the horrendous pain came through alright. It choked me up, I have to admit.

I gathered, you couldn’t write it “like that” if you hadn’t lived it – incredibly real
