[bodytext] => I wanted to write you this letter but instead I swallowed it I breathed in deep as the doors slid open before me Again. I walked through the hallways alone ALONE. and you're opening your eyes thousands of miles away oblivious. My feet shuffled down the corridor of familiar grief to the precious bedside of a miracle our daughter Isabella. You don't know that she has made her entrance into the world grand and beautiful you don't know much at all So I shrudder through the hours wondering what world you live in while my universe and the family that we built together sway in the winds of change hanging, like weighted guilt in the balance all my world threatening to crumble ALONE. and I want to scream shriek in your ears loud. I want you to look in on me and see the huddled mess that you left betrayed. broken. ALONE. You don't know much in a world full of you nothing of this family that we built together you oblivious in your own stupor with expectations weighted on me like guilt you know that I will shuffle down the corridors of reality that I will summon up the necessary strength and courage to move forward in fact, you're counting on it aren't you? Like some twisted faith you believe that I will hold our universe together ALONE. you believe that Riley is tucked into bed every night with a kiss Wakes every morning to breakfast and a warm embrace and that a brand new tiny life is safely wrapped in my arms you believe all this because it's true I am doing it without you and you're counting on it aren't you?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
