Where Do I Go?
I need to talk to you..I need to see you...I need you to tell me everything is going to be okay. I need to have you sit across from me at the table, with a coffee cup in one hand, a cigarette in the other, balanced on your knee because you have put your foot on the chair. I need to hear the name, the one name, the only name...your name for me. WHY, WHY, WHY?????????? I want you to say to me, "Pooh, don't worry it will be okay. This will all work out the way it's supposed to." "You know I'll help any way I can." And after that, you would say something to make me laugh and I would know, I would just know, you were right...it would be okay. No matter what else had happened between us, you were my best friend. I knew I could turn to you no matter what, you were my strength and my confidant. You never passed judgment on me...you always listened. It's hard to be the ex-wife of a dead man. I'm not the widow...not "officially" and because I was the ex-wife there's an assumption that we didn't like, nor care, about each other, that I must in some small way, be happy that you're gone. I do feel like a widow...inside my heart is broken, my spirit feels damaged, I sometimes find it hard to hold things together. I've made dumb, stupid choices because I can't seem to find my way out of this hole I'm in...and I look for the wrong things to pull me out of this abyss. I can't stand not having you around. When I told you I was frightened and I couldn't do this on my own...I wasn't just in the throes of grief....I was speaking truthfully from my heart. I don't know what to do....I miss you.....
