Writing Therapy
Welcome to my poetry page. These poems were written during my grief journey, as a way to express and process my emotions. Writing therapy has been a powerful tool for me, and I hope that my words can resonate with others who may be going through similar experiences. Thank you for taking the time to read my work.

Death Do Us Part
Until death do us part
said so casually
without another thought
Not us
Happily ever after
Dreams of forever
When the day comes
You are gone
We are no longer us
Death do us part
No longer married
Wedding undone
Given a new name
What does it mean
So lost and confused
This day came too soon
Death do us part

Who Am I Now
​
I don’t know who I am without you
No longer your wife
You were my rock
You were my sanity
You were my heart
my soul
my everything
I am lost in a void
My soul is searching without luck
You were my compass
but now I am lost
In a world I do not understand
I am lost in the darkness of missing you
I keep waiting for you to find me
Help me
Save me
I don’t know who I am without you
-MW
Flowers
So many flowers
overcome by the sweet scent
represents so much love
beauty
becomes a daily reminder of your loss
I hate the smell
reminding me of the day
we said goodbye
flowers wilt
like me with pain
they are dead
so are you
they have to go
I don’t want them
what once represented love
now represents pain
I will never look at flowers the same
-MW
Time
Time is my enemy
All I ever wanted was time with you
When we were young we had all the time ahead of us
We have time
We have time for that later
We checked off the milestones one by one
We made our dreams come true
We planned our future because we had time
Then time stopped
Time stopped for you
I lost my time with you
Everyone says it takes time
The problem is time
You are gone
I am young
I have too much time to live with out you
I want to turn back time
I want to stop time
I want to stop my time
I want to be with you in another time
Waiting for time to pass is too slow
I don’t want to grow old without you
I can’t live without you
I don’t want to live without you
My heart is stuck in another time
Time is cruel
Time is my enemy
-MW
Forever Broken
My heart is broken
ripped away
no time for goodbye
emptiness and pain
a pain unwilling to heal
My body will never forget
You are part of me
My soul is searching
forever longing
Forever broken
-MW
Widow
Given a new name today
What does it mean
Darkness
Sadness
Loneliness
Not what you wanted
Not what was expected
What do you do now
Lost without direction
No one understands
Pain
Emptiness
Despair
Longing for you
Your touch
Your smell
Your laugh
Everything
One more hug
One more kiss
Given a new name today
What does it mean
Alone
-MW
