We argued we argued
we fought some more,
The drink fueled our words
much worse than before,
You went to bed I slept downstairs
in the morning you were gone,
The tears they welled was it forever
but no it wasn’t for long,
You came in with a bunch of roses
petals red and stems so long,
My tears they turned to anger
said I wanted you gone,
You asked me if I love you
said I was in your heart,
But these rows these fights so explosive
there tearing us apart,
How was I to know what was gonna happen
as you got in the car that day,
So mad I ripped up the roses
the petals all on the driveway,
They said you felt no pain
but how can that be right,
The truck driver it was his fault
drinking the previous night,
He hit your car full force
and took your precious life,
Now all I am is a widow
no longer am I a wife,
I love you need you want you
but all that’s left is pain,
And the very last thing I did for you was bin your
roses in the rain….

I hope this is just a thought, now a true story…. for I feel the pain. Hugs.
Hi, yes this is just a poem….Just words poured on paper. The inspiration was the rose petals in the picture. My partner bought me them 2 weeks ago, on the way to compost them I started looking at the petals….The picture at the top is the petals on my drive in the rain. I hope you liked the poem I’d like to hope I put enough feeling in it.
Happy hugs your way and a smile for your day.x.

Good, I know first hand the pain of your poem… not in that we were fighting, but the loss and not getting to say Goodbye… But I’m growing… I’m going to try to post a link to 3 of the rose bushes I saved…
I thought very hard before replying to your comment….I understand how painful loss can be….I am lucky I have my partner, we may only have been together 16yrs this year but honestly, it seems a life time, in this poem to try to make it full of feeling I tried to imagine what it would be like to lose him, in truth part of me would die….I hope the poem conveyed that feeling? I would love for you to post a link to the rose bushes.
Hugs your way.x.
Definately a post full of feeling… I always appreciate your work and your comments. Here is the link, hope it works:
