Tuesday’s train commute drafting Mom’s blog
Mist filled eyes well, they overflow
Unseen tears tickle as they trickle down, turning torrential
A silent wrenching sob stems the salty deluge
I pull myself together to alight
Day long, senses are on high alert.
Thursday again office bound, nerves fraying
Rubbing raw eyelids smart, stinging red
My throat’s hoarse, sinus cavities throbbing
Tight head’s aching, cranial pressure building
Reliving memories of music, words, scenes
Gates release, inner body racking, wailing
Sluicing waves wash out secreted regret, loss, guilt
Concluding a weary week of weeping.

Seems wrong to check “Like.” Sad for you. I still have those times and regrets, though they don’t last as long now after five years for my husband and decades for my mom. We do the best we can with what awareness we have, but loss makes us wish we’d been more focused on those we loved. Surrounding you with tender thoughts and understanding.
Thank you, Eileen.
Dearest Rob, I was moved when I read your post. It’s been nearly two years since mum died. I lived with her for the last year and she didn’t have a peaceful passing. I now live in the family home in Malvern and tend the garden she was so proud of, but so often that sad night comes back to haunt me and I am bereft. You are not alone . Sending much love. ❤️
Thank you, George, so sorry about you Mum. I have such happy memories of her ❤️
My Mom and Dad died 😢 Hope all goes well with you. Anita
Thank you, Anita. I hope you are going well ❤️
Sounds like something to get over with quickly. Sorrow and guilt are hard to overcome.
Thank you for your comment (and for following).
I am glad you have poetry to help you; I am more glad to see the Love here in the comments for you.
Thank you.
Beautiful lines time will heal everything! 👍
Thank you, Priti ❤️

Aww, you need a HUGE HUG! ❤ Let go of the regret and guilt… Anyone who allows such emotions to overcome them is probably not nearly as guilty of any wrongdoing as they think. You're a good man, and you have a good heart. Feel better soon, my friend! xo
Thank you Rachel ❤️
