Therapist
Missing her
I went to the therapist.
He wanted to know if I’m still thinking about her?
Well, I wake up every morning and I reach for her.
I miss wrapping my arms around her and pulling her close.
I still want to spoon her and kiss her neck softly while she drifts between sleep and awake.
I wish I could whisper one more time how much I love her and then feel her push back against me.
How does that make you feel?
It makes me feel like shit.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Beautiful liens. Congratulations
What a great final line. Shocking and funny but also brutal. All that wonderful imagery of intimacy, longing and desire undermined completely. I loved this!

Oh SNAP with that ending - what the therapist does, “how does that make you feel” and you want to say how the eff do you think it makes me feel and then Deliver your last line!👏
Perfect last line. Because that is truly how it feels. This was so good.
Congratulations 🎉🎉 for top story your story is full of emotions
congratulations on TS. it's well deserved. I'm glad I never had to feel like that but I know my mom did and each day, I'd see the glimmer of tears she tried hard to let fall. BRAVO on bringing such strong emotions to words.
Very sad
This is so sad. I’m so sorry for your pain.
:( So relatable for so many of us. This poem captures the sadness really well.
