3 Word Wednesday - CCXLV




This week, the words are: grip, prefer, thread. Finally, I have this.

My grip on his hand - His grip on my shoulder - my grip on reality. I follow this fragile thread of sanity. What do I do without him? This must be some kind of mistake - a bad cosmic joke. Why am I still breathing when he is not? No, no thank you, I do not wish to come out and be among the guests. I prefer the silence here, where in the stillness I can still hear his voice.

  1. Thank you for coming by my blog, and for sharing such kind words regarding my post. I've left a note for you there, as well, but wanted to be sure you know that there is also great depth of emotion in your piece, which was well done! I am so glad that we all have different styles of writing...it's a good thing.

    Blessings,
    Paula

  5. Love the first line, and the next that follows with a thread, wonderfully penned sentiments of mourning.

  6. I can understand this. This is how I felt when my sister died.The depth of feeling when you lose someone close to you that you love comes across in such few short words.
