Poem -

behind a curtain

i don't know this person
she stares at me...blank
i asked where she's hiding me
blank blank blank blank
i ask if i'll die as herĀ 
blank are her eyes
i tell her i hate herĀ 
i know i don't lie
she's still like her fingers that
shine in the glass
she doesn't know who i amĀ 
stupid old lass
i move far away from her
stare out at day, to
envy the wind
as it blows blows away,

Hello MarionĀ 
After I lost my Mam, I felt this blank numbness, it seemed to last an age ...this reminded me of that time...After the initial devastation but before any sort of recovery started

Grief is a bastard Lorna, I'm so sorry for your pain. And yes, you read it well, all of us at some point or another find ourselves behind that curtain staring into voids. Thankyou so much...truly appreciated šŸ’•

A few years ago my friend's mother died and her dad had passed previously and even though she was 49 at the time she said she felt like an orphan. Hugs Greg x
