How did she taste, when I was writing poems for you?
Was her bed warm, did you sing to her, too, while I waited
in silence for you? Did you look behind or ahead or only
in her eyes? Was the press of her flesh all you needed
to feel alive? Were my words tossed aside like last weeks
trash, while you cherished her body, and I walked alone
outside? Did you wonder what it meant as you sighed in
release, the waves of torment you set on the seas? Or do
you owe nothing to no one and your body is free? Do you
realize that your body will never claim me?
Talking to the Clouds 
So powerful, absolutely emotion-wrenching verse. .

Such powerful verse!
thank you!
A more powerful set of questions could not hove been posed….an emotionally packed poem.
thanks very much
Wow, this is sad. I feel very sorry now. I shouldn’t but, well I feel for you. Fuck him/her whoever hurt you. Stand upright and tall, beautiful.
Even though today you have no clue
there’s more than war and sorrow dream
a loving word comes through the gleam
the world has none that is like you.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Lovely Sarah, a little bit heartbreaking, but with that powerful message at the end. Well done.

Thanks, Jane x
Very powerful emotions. Not the experience anyone would want, but captured so beautifully.
thank you.
I was hooked from the first line (question)!
that was so brutal to read though, yet I could not stop reading it.
your honesty is fantastic and really adds to this verse.
thanks very much.
Ouch. This must have been painful to live and painful to write – I hope the writing proved cathartic in some way?
It’s beautifully crafted and compelling (but very uncomfortable) to read.
thank you.
Think the line that does it for me is the
“while I waited in silence for you ”
There is such power in this piece and I am shocked and dazed and …
but the conclusion is fine, but I still feel the regret and disappointment and lack of trust …
Splendid writing!
