The Blue Beside Me Comments

This is so lovely and true and wistful. It touches me me more deeply than I can say. Because I was subtly taught by family pressure not to release my feelings, especially negative ones, but to count my blessings and shut up (!) So it's almost impossible for me to ask for affection, if it's not given already, it's not for you - that's the lesson I internalized but your poem must have found a tiny opening in my armor and found a way inside - and I feel wonderfully vulnerable to tender emotions. And that is a good thing! !

A beautiful poem Sandra, very poignant and sad. Well done.
