Christmas Sadness

The Hurting Won't Go Away

Feona1962
My heart aches so bad

It's not just an emotional ache

but a physical pain that pushes on my chest..

Listening to my music brings you back to me...

After all these years I still cry for you.

It may sound strange but my memories are so strong..

There are times I can feel you here with me.

I thought the pain would lessen as time went on.

But it is stronger now than ever.

You were my first best friend.

You loved me when no one else would.

You took care of me when others wanted to hurt me.

The heart ache stays with me and

my missing you still hurts so bad...

Will I ever be able to let you go?

I don't know....I don't want too.

Christmas is coming..

Ever since that day it will never be the same.

I panic when the holiday nears.

I can't focus on anything but

the fear I felt when you died.

This is the worst time of year for me

The time when all I feel is fear and sadness

It's almost like time stops...

and I'm standing here, frozen still..

When will I get passed all the pain

that crushes my heart everytime I think of you?

...I cry...

    You were lucky to have a love like that, but I sure understand the grief and the injustice of it when there are so many crappy people living. It doesn't seem fair. I know how Christmas can hurt. Love you dear friend. You are a gifted poet.

    From your words I can feel that you had a precious love that few people really have in their marriage. You had a husband that was everything. I think he would want you to remember the happiest of times. He lived for your happiness, didn't he? I firmly believe that you never get over the loss of such a wonderful person and there is nothing wrong with that. This week dear lady, think about what he would want you to do that would honor his memory and make you feel better. Hugsof comfort go out to you.
