Poem -
Why?
The languished heartĀ
Left derelict within the bosom of an open woundĀ
Tears entombedĀ
Never to be releasedĀ
Cease to speakĀ
Their silence echoes what pains remain untoldĀ
Thus, as time forces a sense of distanceĀ
As the present - once so vivid
Fades into a dull hueĀ
Those unspent tearsĀ
Cradled for so many yearsĀ
Feed our fearsĀ
Suppressing the ability to fly
That open woundĀ
A constant reminder of that question...
Why?Ā

Hello Jim, I am so glad to hear your daughter slammed that door. Thank you for reading this poem, for your thoughtful comment and sharing your story. Fear can consume us if we allow it. More power to your daughter, Ā you must of felt so relieved for her š»Ā
Such a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic piece that strikes a chord into every heart that has been through this sadness. We never really will understand why..but rather learn to live with the unanswered question. A wonderful piece!Ā

Hello lodigiana, your response to my poem is one I can completely relate to. Exactly right in every word. Sadly I now carry that question for four people. I keep myself to myself these days. Fear of attachment I think itās called. I think out of all the griefs I have faced. This type never stops feeling rawĀ
thank you for not only connecting to this poem and leaving me such an empathetic response. But for being back here on Cosmo writing. Your work touches my heart strings in a good way. Itās good to cry, I tend to try and hold it together. Which isnāt always goodĀ
so thank you for writing š»ā¤ļø
Love this write. I love the short lines that add to the impact here. It made me think of us supressing our tears, our sadness whereas it would be better to let them out, allow them to be there and observe them. Observe how they make you feel, act, how your body reacts to this state. But allow it to pass because it will if you don't hold it in. Holding on is unhealthy. The lines

Hello Shelley-anne, thank you so very much for reading and taking time to leave such an attentive comment. What you took from my poem is very true. When we prevent ourselves release of sadness or anger, it resides in the body, manifests and eventually shapes us. Dispelling and facing those emotions are so important for balance and future happinessĀ
so glad you found light in this sad piece. Finding light in the dark can strengthen you and only help you grow that bit moreĀ
love and light to you as well, may your days shine š»āØš

Marion thanks so much for reading this poem and for the lovely feedback šš»
I'm an Annie Lennox fan and noticed the title of this one Gwen so just had to read and so glad I did.
So forlorn and haunting of a fear hanging over oneself waiting for it to descend and engulf and trying so hard to supress it, to doomed and hopeless avail, but so beautifully written and what you must have gone through to deliver this melancholy piece Gwen.
And things do get better, albeit slowly, but at least they move in the right direction.ā¤ļø

Shaun, thank you ever so much. This is quite a meaningful piece to me. The big question that canāt be answered. But I am learning to just accept it is what it is. Out of my hands
Annie Lennox yay, she has sung some fab songs :)Ā
Thank you Shaun, for once again displaying such a perceptive mind towards a poem. For being so generous with your thoughts x
ā¤ļø.
