    The word still hangs
    Lifeless
    Void of any color
    Shape or substance
    Just an echo
    A passing thought
    as you turn away
    ^^^
    Jeannie I like the changes you've made here.
    And I love that you left the first 2 lines as they were .... giving the reader much to think bout.

    Did I not love you strong enough
    Long enough
    Did you doubt sincerity
    For I know those words
    I said them over and over
    I love you
    ^^^
    We ask ourselves these questions over and over ... and wonder why love just wasn't enough. I feel the sadness here ...

    But still
    As you walk away
    A wisp of hair
    on your collar
    A wrenching reminder
    ^^^
    A shoulder turned ... makes the blood run coldly through our veins. And the reality that we are left alone ... standing holding just memories.

    And as the distance
    grows between us, I wait
    Hoping
    Praying
    That you care enough to turn
    To see me one more time
    See my tears
    That they may move you
    Pull you back to me
    ^^^
    And when words fail ... we hold onto the hopes that somehow they will see the pain etched on our face. Gawd how I knew this feeling all to well. The deepest pain one can imagine ...

    But you have walked so far
    Not once turning around
    Not seeing these tears
    Unmoved

    Now...
    Not even an echo of your words
    It truly is...

    Goodbye
    ^^^
    Such a sad ending !

    Jeannie there is so much emotion in this piece. If one has lived this ... they know how it tears at your heart. Shreds you life into pieces and leaves you alone ... wondering ... what went wrong.

    I think so many can relate to this piece Auntie.
    Touching read !!!!!!
