Oh Luanne, Such a heartwrenching piece:

"It is with heavy heart and
tongue in hand
I walk out this door."

Such a great lead-in to the rest of the poem.

"As salt touches and burns
my starving lips,
accepting, that the love we
once shared, is gone"

So sad, dear friend. The words just flowed off my lips and brought a tear to my eyes. A very well written poem.
True talent.

Always,
Jeannie

This poem is so sad, the tears are flowing. Wonderful job on this piece.

Turning that key may be the
hardest thing I've ever done.
Sound of the engine frightens me
pain in my heart is killing me.
But I know ......
Staying will only make my heart
die of hunger
I am tired

I know so well that tired feeling.
Excellent work.
Thinking of you

How can I say amazing write and brilliant description without overuse of the words that just do not seem to do enough justice for this piece. I have been in those shoes. Too afraid to leave and too afraid to stay. Thinking surely the death of me would be because I left. Truly staying was what was killing me in the first place. The relief and power of breaking free and once again claiming your life.
Wow! These lines are amazing....

As salt touches and burns
my starving lips,

Beautifully penned.

Luanne, whats sad is that so many woman are going through this. I know 2 of them. THey feel like they are in such romantic love but when the man screws up it breaks their heart to have to leave. I've never been through that and I pray I never have too, but this poem here is something I've witnessed before and your descriptions were great! Love the part of the engine!
Love,
Chelsey

"Staying will only make my heart
die of hunger"

Sometimes the hardest thing we have to do is the best thing we can do.. and you got that point across in this piece so perfectly.
I find writing free verse so difficult, but your words flowed so lucidly..
Well done m'dear
