Linger

another mourning song

Linger

Just because you cannot see me
does not mean I’m nowhere near
and
just because you cannot feel me
does not mean I’m less than real
I am not
gone, I need to linger
just to check that nothing’s wrong
I never
told you I might be leaving
I just could not find the right words
to place inside
this, your mourning song, for safe
keeping ..
Until this whole affair is over and
I am 
so very well and truly done .... x

Oh Neville you go deep into a persons soul and speak from their perspective beautifully. In this case a beautiful sad perspective. This just makes my eyes well. A powerful read my friend, you have a gift

This IS indeed a SONG!!....It sings to the emotions of the reader......and has the rhythmic qualities of a true song......in fact, I can hear this done in A minor as that key lends itself to the melancholy, the forlorn.......It is a STUNNING read/ write that pulls at the heart strings and makes one fight back the tears.....PINNED!!.......it is in a word ~ BEAUTIFUL!!........LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo  : (
