Calm after a Storm
Oh, my darling, my lover, my friend
I refuse to accept that this is the end.
Eight and a half years of togetherness
Experiencing adventures one after the next.
But now you want out
To replace me with a lady you’ve met
“We are getting along very well “, you said to me.
You and I ..still can be friends, but you have to accept
That someone else will be taking your place.
Never mind your tears. Wipe them off your face.
This other nice lady will take your side on my bed.
Come on darling, don’t you understand?
I never wanted you as a partner. We were only friends.
My heart is shattered, I refuse to believe our love was a lie
Your lips on my lips. Your skin on my skin.
Those blissful moments of pure ecstasy.
Your arms around me, I will never forget how lovely it felt.
I’m home alone , sitting on the side of my bed.
Rocking to and fro the pain is so great
Then I realise that this is the end.
I will never be cradled in your arms again.
The pain is excruciating, a misery that never ends
I’m gasping for air, can’t breathe very well
I’m on the verge of collapsing. I am afraid.
As I try to compose myself a guttural yelp resonates the place.
No matter how loud the yelping or copious the tears.
Nothing seems to help ease my distress.
Cry…cry I said to myself, tears will help wash the pain away.
Another day comes and goes, there’s always calm after a storm.

incredibly well said. I was right with you and felt just a teeny tiny bit of what you must have felt. Who knows why things turn out as they do, but sometimes it appears that there is a reason…
Thank you Susan, I hope there’s one, because I’m hurting a lot
thinking of you and honoring your feelings. This is important and you are important.
I haven’t been on here in along time for to reasons I ment someone on here and o idea that HD as a player and when I found out I also found out that most of the other members already knew,and to make matters worse my daughter became ill and passed Way and he chose that time to leave.
Oh! So sad, I’m sorry to hear that. Same with me, I lost my sister two weeks prior him finishing our relationship, we have lots of wonderful memories of our time together. Never mind that it still hurts a lot when suddenly it is all over. The pain of losing two loved ones at the same time is harrowing!
Nice literary piece! Remember everything happened for a reason just trust God He has better plans for you! Take care and God bless!
