Okay I was married at the tender age of 22 and that marriage lasted for only a few years with a traumatic break in the middle.
Well life did deal a "make it or break it" hand.
I was bluffing but went for broke.
I didn't fold my hand till I was spent.
I ended my thirst for love when the love of my life professed I was crazy.
Oh joy.
I exited and fled back to my husband.
He seemed to be a safe harbor.
Well now this man is dead.
I can't really make sense of this.
My memories keep going and the stories still are alive.
We had a dog, a camero, a house with a bath tub full of foul weed, we had a life that was filled with distraction.
Distraction from my saddenss.
I had loved and lost.
My fall back was this man I had married.
I am ashamed.
I could have been more for him.
He's gone now.
He's gone.
I am still here on this planet of joy, sorrow, angst and love.
I am still alive.
He has gone.

Jai,
How long ago did he pass away? Was this a recent event? This isn't something you've written about previously. Obviously, the conflicting emotions are very complex here: longing, loss, regret, feelings of detachment, a need for safe-harbor attachment, and maybe some guilt as well. A lot goin' on in this piece. Thanks for sharing this. :) Atticus

Jai, I just surfed to this board and noticed your writing. You must be experiencing feelings that you have never felt before. My thoughts are with you tonight.
I have read this little book so many times, and each time it has helped me uncover and express new emotion. May I suggest it to you?
