Half In-Half Out - Day 2
The picture below inspired me to write this poem. It is a true reflection of my reality since my husband left this world about 4 months ago.
You’re half in-half out
Because I’m still holding fast
You’re gone but still lingering
Just beyond my grasp
I’m half in-half out
Speaking to an empty chair
Your presence still lingering
Just beyond nowhere
You’re half in-half out
Quietly I hear your voice
Your essence still lingering
Just beyond my choice
I’m half in-half out
Long since you’ve passed
Your memories still lingering
Just beyond the past

Poetry is very touching,
Indeed, everything will surely feel like only half of it after being left behind by those we love.
At first it felt difficult,
But I am sure you will be steadfast through it.
Thank you. Writing poetry is helping me through it.
This is very emotional! I hope you have a bright look on your life. The energy of your husband will always be there for you to guide you like an angel!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. It has been tough. Though I know he will always be with me in Many aspects now, I have to find my own way
This is really touching.
It gets one to feel what youre feeling.
Stay strong @firststeps, we shall all lose someone we consider dear at one point or the other.
And,
Stay happy, nothing beats that.
Thank you. I am trying. I have my happy moments.
