Stay
I heard the whisper.
My name.
It was so low...wasn't meant to be uttered..
Much less recieved.
An escape of emotion..
Unplanned.
To have answered it,
Well it would have been wrong.
But God i wanted to cry out...
Oh God..
Grieve out his name..
I held so God damned tight!
I held so hard on to mine.
Gripped white knuckles streaked red deep inside that pillow.
Lips screwed painfully into..
One another.
Leaving my head..
And heart.
Winding wild Into storm.
It took an eternity to hear the front door...
Shut.
Finally.
Finality..
Breaking suddenly me in two.
And then came shaking wails.
Moans so alone.
Desperate..
Utterly and infinite..
Could not find the end of it....
Or any release.. ......
Echos and echos and echos of Fuck!!!
How had he found any, and in my name...
Whispered.
My name.

This piece brings me to sudden sadness and longing Jennifer. Powerful and demanding emotions abound in here, begging for escape. Very well done.

Mm, thanks John. More comfortable to show sexuality than vulnerability and loss. But necessary. Really appreciated.

Kickass piece of writing, Jen. An almost abstract poem which grabbed me quickly and hard. Emotions shown through your words are vibrant and very, very real.

This is extremely sad but very well written Jennifer. I particularly like how you handle the repressed emotion.
"I heard the whisper.
My name.
It was so low...wasn't meant to be uttered..
Much less recieved.
An escape of emotion..
Unplanned.
To have answered it,"
Then, later,
"But God i wanted to cry out...
Oh God..
Grieve out his name."
He can't bring himself to breath a single endearment. And she want's to cry out but knows it wouldn't do any good. He seems very close to being callous.
This is fine work, Jennifer. It's apparently personal but you seem to have moved on. I just hope you're here to "stay".

You certainly can 'wreck a heart' with internal pains through such
dark, powerful verse... Sad while in the moment, but impressed by the expression of emotion.
