Nicely written ...

Maybe it is just me ... but I feel maybe even see a double meaning in this.

May peace find your heart and soul.

I agree, this can be so read with a dual meaning but pulls more in the direction of such a painful exoeriance that does truely leave you feling hollow and empty - a piece of you missing. This is well written where the pain and emptiness is fully expressed in these well strung words.

this is stunning, touches on a subject not many people will,
and is filled with such strong emotion...
you are an incredible poet, really. :)

elle, I read this poem some time ago and didn't comment! so glad I was searching your page for diamonds in the coal sack of YPDC.

This is so raw, so beautiful. Painful with that echo of emptiness but the crush of guilt along for the ride.

The rhyme scheme is subtle but noticed in a lament that resonates through this macho sensibility. Bravo, great poetry.
