Somewhere

All air was sucked out of the room,
Yet I couldn’t leave
And
I couldn’t stay.
I stood to leave,
You pulled me back.
Your last few
Moments,
Few ragged breaths,
I was there
As you were whisked
Off  to somewhere.

Wow. This is powerful. I'm left wondering about the whole story. So much said. So much unsaid.

You cannot write this without knowing. I have been there, too, when loved ones were whisked off. I'm sorry for your loss.

It has been just over 10 years now, but today is the anniversary....guess it is pretty raw. Thanks for your kind words.

These words swept me right to my mother's bedside four years ago last month. Yes, such powerful words...and I can feel the pain in your words. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/

Powerful. Painful. Somber.

My heart is breaking for you as I read this poem.
