Description
My grief is not yours to share
Yours to preempt
Because you felt you had more right to him than I
In the end
We each lay claim to one heart
One sorrow
And if comfort is communal
Mourning is solitary.

Brilliant.
True.
Potent.
The truth is what makes it potent and the way in which you express it is--well, it's poetic.Β The closing lines are what pack the biggest punch.Β Brilliant, and a fitting piece to mark the approach of Samhain--well, the approach, when this was written and posted.

Wow...dearling, I'm so sorry I've neglected this wonderful comment for so very long...I was contending with health issues, and hiding under a rock. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment. It truly means a lot to me β I've read and re-read it many times.

Ah, emigration... I've lived in many places, and each time I move, I leave a piece of my heart behind. I hope you can see your best friend soon!
ThinEach home I claim, claims part of me
Each city, an anchor, that ties me to place
Each house I name becomes a friend
With stories, moods, a well-known face
Each time I move, I hang a star
In my constellation of self and space
My spirit spans them, one and allβ¦Β
And years have worn me thin as lace.Β

Leaving everything behind so often
is very tiring
Thank you for your lovely wishes
Have a good night!

My gosh, I didn't know about you & your work when this was posted, and I would not have seen it even now if I hadn't stumbled in on a group I never saw until now which I'm about to apply for membership.Β So the little pathways crisscrossed without my noticing, and here I am!Β If I'd seen this in your group a little earlier, I might have done my comment here, but that doesn't mean I pass this by without a comment.Β I mean... hey, wait... THIS is a comment!
Anyway, the title pulled me in before I noticed it had been authored by you.Β And then as I read the piece, each line became a vortex until I landed on the bottom with my jaw slack.
I could tell before reading your reply to another commenter that this just had to be straight from your veins.Β Wonderful.Β
