While I am sorry for loss, you are right life remains for most of us. Luckly you have your family members to help each other though the grieving times.
I felt this was well written and easy to follow. I got exactly where you were in term of dealing with this horrific event.
Wow! That was powerful and boy could I relate to this poem right from the start. I felt the pain and anguish rocket off the page and infiltrate my emotions.
I would say you nailed it!
I could not tell if the victim was beaten, neglected, suicidal, but I felt the abuse and misery on any account.
Well, I really like it until the last phase. I'm not sure if it a lack of meaning to me or the way it flows. I have read it 3x and not quit put my finger on what it is.
It all seems to flow so smoothly and easily developing a picture for me and than the last phase just hit me like the gravel edge of a freshly paved road.
Sorry, I know that doesn't really offer much help. Like I said I read it, re-read it stepped back and read it again; no insight to why it hits me that way but the best I was able to narrow it to was the last 3 lines.
