WHY IT HURT
it was
not just
you
but the place
we lived in,
the home
we built,
our songs
and jokes
and books
and how
i knew just
what to say
and where
to touch
and how
to make
you smile
it was
not just you
but us,
not just you
but me
gone, too

Oh.... you've conveyed that hurt so well. That absence of who we were through someone else's eyes. Heartbreaking.

Dear J,
Wow. The losing of “us” as well as “me” in a relationship is so beautifully related in this poem. Kind of makes me lose my breath because it’s so relatable. Sad subject. Excellent writing. H🌷

Thanks so much, Honoria. Your kind words are always encouraging.
Losing someone like that is losing a piece of self. Such difficult times.
I hope all is well, and thank you again.
