I can positively FEEL the rising pain and the fullness of your emptiness in these words of pain and regret following on your recent poems. It will not let go of you and tugs at you like quicksand....but like quicksand, it can suck you under, but it is not your time. I am there for you and send you a hundred good vibes every minute! A superb write!
