Numbness
June 16, 2014
My life is quiet now that his
Voice is absent from my life,
Which used to fill my heart and home.
The pain is pulsing through the knife
That lies now deep within my heart.
The breakfast table feels empty
Without him, when I’m about
To start the day, with some coffee.
The sickness known as fear resides
In me constantly. I’m in walls
That trap me within nightmares I
Relive, of getting the call.
The call that I now wish would come
And end my fear and leave me numb.

As a child of a parent in the military, I can really identify with this. It was very well written :)

An amazingly constructed sonnet!
