Contributor Series 11: On Birthdays
This is not how i thought it would be
By Bobbie Troy
this is not how i thought
it would be
you gone
and me still sitting here
writing poetry
your birthday no longer celebrated
your death day somehow elevated
and me still sitting here
writing poetry
this is not how i thought
it would be
Bobbie Troy’s most recent poem to appear here was You Knew Me When (June 2012).
Bobbie, what a beautiful tribute!! Your poems are always so touching and meaningful!!
This heartfelt poem hit me hard.
Oh, Bobbie, you read my mind, wrote my story, so I don’t have to.
Before he died, growing old together was an adventure. Now, it is just…well, growing old.
Thank you for this poem. I so admire your work.
Deeply moving, sensitive as always.
Wow, thanks everyone. This has not happened to me, but I can imagine it.
