Walls, Windows and a Door

Walls, Windows and a Door

A Poem by willweb

Walls, standing silent, hushed

absorbing the sorrow felt,

locking it in place with this emptiness


Windows - beyond holding

lonely streets in two lane nightmares,

asphalt stained with memories


A door, never again

will you knock on it, your smile

through the peep hole has been erased


I will not hear your laugh,

see your face, our eyes beaming,

never again hold you to my skin


No goodbye,

no warning, at least that I noticed

or wanted to find


Now just walls, windows, and a door,

all that is left to hear me,

as I weep alone in tears of -


how much I'll miss you, forever

The feeling of loss and sadness penetrates throughout the poem. My favourite lines would be:
"Windows - beyond holding

lonely streets in two lane nightmares,

asphalt stained with memories"

Thank you so very much for this kind review of my poem. I am thrilled you liked this one.
Killing me so softly this evening with short tales of lover's lost and never recovered but I am basting in the glory of it. This is so deliciously filled with want that I'm knocked over. Keep on knocking me over with your prose wil...it don't hurt.

The sense of desolation is strong in this poem. Upon first read, I imagined an empty house that once was filled with busy-ness, companionship, love, laughter, light. But second read made me think of inner emptiness. When we fill our lives with another and then they are ripped from us, particularly if its sudden and unexpected, it can leave immense trauma and even pathological grief. I don't believe in "never" or "forever" and I have learned that the greatest thing to do after such a terrible loss is to live the life that they can only dream of. Good luck with that and carpe diem ! Grab it now ! You have great talent. Penny

If I didn't like them I would not say anything at all. Safer that way.:)
