Dearly Departed Leaves Echoing Silences Comments

A deeply poignant write. Great images that vividly depict emptiness and loneliness that tantamount to death.

You must have had a companion in your house for a while, but no longer. That's how I read the poem, which impresses me greatly. I too live alone in a house, but I have no one to miss. There has always been just myself. A poem which makes me reflect on companionship and loneliness.

But, your poem peeps into the empty silent house extraordinarily; that's why it describes the death house so beautifully. Well conceived, well crafted Thanks for sharing. Chandan

Wonderful! ! It is hard to be left alone after years of marriage. My mother talked to my dad from one room to the other before she realized that he had departed. She was so used to talking to him, even though he was not in the same room at the time. Hard, Hard. Lynn W. Petty

A moving write on being left lonely with the departure of a loved one! The silence or the emptiness one feels then is so daunting!

Hello You are alone, feel lonely. There are so many around, yet the one you wanted to be your every thing is far away. You are in dark silence. You long for that one you wish. Thanks this is Poem of longing, craving for the one you want to be your soul.

self realization encyclopedic thoughts... a1......no one is watching me eating/ no one is watching me sleeping/ no one eating or watching me all asleep/ in an empty silent house is heard not a peep/ um alone all alone...if the house is the soul/ who is my mate? ? great great poem/work..10 for it deserves as per my consideration! !

This is so sad, we all need someone to watch over us and keep us safe, make us feel loved.

This is such a sad and moving piece. Well written and tugs the heartstrings.

The silence heard after a loss is deafeningly sad...but alas the echoes of love come a creepin' just when we thought alll was sleeping. A beautiful, exceptionally emotional poem. I choose to save it to my list of favorites. PEACE
