The Whole of A Woman Shared

The Whole of A Woman Shared

 

Sitting there like that

with your legs

slightly parted and your

  lips tightly closed ..

Wearing my old check

shirt and nothing

else, except for

  

the sweat we just shed ..

I realised then

what I had been missing

all along and why

upon his leaving, he also

  said, he loved you too ..

 

Author's Note

oh' do be gentle she said, just before she kicked him in the head ..

I may never tire of popping back here and reading wot you just writ Tom .. How bloomin kind of you ..

[Chris Shaw]

Forgiveness is a remarkable trait. It helps soften the pain, as do prayers. They also help with healing. This poem was etched in hurt. This reader felt it. A slice of life Neville.
