Not been on Ciao much lately - Have had severe back problems which prevent me from sitting at computer too long. I can't walk much either. I've had 6 injections of steroids into the nerve endings - but to no avail!!

In 1999, after 26 years of fairly happy marriage my husband John suddenly died of a massive heart attack the day after our anniversary. He was 56. (Hence the title!) I 've always loved writing simple poetry but the heartbreak I was feeling was released in several poems in the forthcoming weeks and this is one of them.
I'm trying to cope with this grief right now I sometimes get things done but only deep inside of me do I know my heart is numb.
It's a miracle it beats at all for half of it has flown and gone with you, the only man who's love I've ever known.
But trying to bear with all this pain of you not by my side is tearing me to pieces and my tears I cannot hide.
I crave your arms around me I miss the way we kissed and all the loving times we had are so very sorely missed.
I didn't want to be left alone I wanted you by my side to help me carry on with life but you can't - because you died.
So I look at your smiling photo up there upon the wall and my heart goes heavy with the pain as my silent tears still fall.
I think back to when you were alive how you always made us smile with something you had said or done and my heart is eased awhile.
But reality soon sets in again and makes me feel the ache within my heart that longs for you whether I'm asleep or I'm awake.
Without you, I can't face tomorrow I feel lost and all alone as I wonder how to cope with this feeling sadness and sorrow in my bones.

A very moving poem, you should be really proud, Im sure John would be. xx
Advantages: A bit of fun, not to be taken too seriously. My Mam would be chuffed if I showed her. Disadvantages: Best read in a Northern tongue though will probably make most laugh.
