Does anybody feel my pain?
WHAT IN THE HELL is that clicking
That... ticking I hear
Ringing so loudly
In my ear?!
It echoes
With cacophony
Deep and profound
Why do I hate this
Deafening sound?
In the silence of my room
Late here at night
It rings like a boom
Until daylight
It's been happening for years
It's source has me dumbfounded
If you say you can't hear it
Well then I'm astounded
It started just about
When we were ripped apart...
wait...
could it be...
the beating of my heart?
In the silent solace of
Lonely demise
I hear it most
As I close my eyes
And alone drift away
Into solitary slumber
My days of loneliness
Becoming too many
to number
My eyes cry tears
Down like rain
Is there anyone out there
Who can feel my pain?
That... ticking I hear
Ringing so loudly
In my ear?!
It echoes
With cacophony
Deep and profound
Why do I hate this
Deafening sound?
In the silence of my room
Late here at night
It rings like a boom
Until daylight
It's been happening for years
It's source has me dumbfounded
If you say you can't hear it
Well then I'm astounded
It started just about
When we were ripped apart...
wait...
could it be...
the beating of my heart?
In the silent solace of
Lonely demise
I hear it most
As I close my eyes
And alone drift away
Into solitary slumber
My days of loneliness
Becoming too many
to number
My eyes cry tears
Down like rain
Is there anyone out there
Who can feel my pain?

About this poem:
I've been a widow for 16 years. Though I have moved on, now that I'm single again, sometimes, I miss my husband, especially late at night when I am alone. I think about the days, how they have passed, how much has happened... and how I am alone to enjoy them, mourn them, engage them and ignore them.Poems like this help me get through the notion that the moment his soul was set free, mine was chained to misery.
