Rich is right, and he usually is. Alot of pain there, feeling and truth mixed in. I loved it, especially the ending. I really believe that you are one of the best poets here. You need to publish. You will be known for your poems someday. Excellent poem,10+

This stands as the best poem I have read of yours. How you hit so deep with words, feelings we wish to forget...but then they're stars. Above us, keeping watch. Until we are the stars to join them. Magnificent! ! xxElysabeth
