Another Widow...

She busies herself
with all the affairs
of losing her husband
and living alone.

For now, she has company
they come and they go
reminding her of the memories
she already knows.

She'll deal with the things
that must be done
but deep down inside
she knows she is 'one'.

The evening creeps in
time for dinner and such
everyone's gone home
she's left without much.

Uncertainty and wonder
fill the quiet air
things she would talk about
when he was there.

How, doesn't matter
"why did he leave?"
saddened by the thoughts
she cries herself to sleep.

Another day is upon her
as she fills it with stuff
to take away the loneliness
that makes it so rough.



Dedicated to all the widows in my life.

Thank you for sharing that. Last week, a friend of mine lost her husband of 40 years. Your poem expresses some of the concerns I have for her. Her children all live nearby, she is very active with her job, church and volunteer work, home is paid for, financial situation is good. But, at the end of the day, she is still alone. I know that she will keep going, and eventually it won't be so hard. But now is really rough.

This was me at age 25 with two babies in diapers, no insurance, no money and no peers.

 

It hits the nail on the head. Thanks for sharing it with us.
