Not In The Mood

My husband’s death,

Took away all my breaths,

Allow me to grieve,

Please say nothing and just leave,

I don’t want to know what’s going in your life,

Because mine has come to a standstill, I’m a widow today, not a wife,

Whatever you say to me, out of sympathy, empathy or pity,

Are far from witty,

Your partners are still alive and kicking,

So please, continue with your personal nitpicking,

I’m not interested to hear about your love stories or babies,

My husband’s death has filled my head with rabies,

So just leave me alone,

To my heartbroken groans,

I’m not alright,

Please leave my child and me to our plight.
