Space.



This space,

a vacuum between us,

left by feelings departed.

This space,

bites and stabs at hearts

until they are broken.

This space,

once a home, now echoes

with the sound of loneliness.

This space,

is vast and grey and deep;

and I can no longer reach you.

This space

between us is cold and empty:

there is no warming touch.

This space

is the void that consumes

the remains of our love.

Nice job. Think many of us have been in "this space" before.

hi all!
seniorlady is right: many of us have to traverse 'this space' - unfortunate but true...
the 'feeling' thing is interesting - i don't know how successful i am but i try to use words and the sounds of words to 'encapsulate' an emotional response - hope some of you are getting it....
thanks and xoxo
:o)
cheers!

5 Stars for "Space" is not enough. Sad topic but expressive matter...REALLY good.

Your writing has raw emotion in it.
That is what I mean by feeeel.
You stir many emotions in what you write.
I felt it in the first story I ever read of yours...the story of Anne and her father on the trip.
Your stories are life like.
You write from the heart...that is my conclusion.
I know how you do not like when I say this to you...but you do have a lovely heart.
