Description
"No Costume Required"
You said the words:
"Good bye"
and my heart broke.
I could almost hear it shatter.
No last kiss.
No last embrace.
I miss your taste;
the feel of you in my arms.
The softness of your hair against my cheek.
I ache for you.
Tears have yet to dry.
I long to go into hiding;
run from everyone.
I want to be alone;
yet being without you makes me alone in a crowd.
So,
I am disguising myself.
You wouldn't recognize me.
If we meet at a party you would pass me by.
I am going as a "broken heart".
No costume required.
J.P. Wiegand

Originally this started as a concept for a greeting card; sort of an "I Miss You / Halloween" type. The card would have had a picture of a person with a large heart (like those "The world is coming to an end" signs) on the front with the line: "This Halloween I'm going as a broken heart"; on the inside would simply be the words: "No costume required."
The person? Same lady as "Wrapped in Unconditional Love". In this case, time does NOT heal all wounds. -j.p.

Tears stream down my face once again. This captures exactly how I have been feeling lately. Missing my husband and longing for those wonderful nights and days with him. You always write so beautifully and it always makes me cry. Wonderful work Noc.

I hate knowing that the person I love is out there, at yet they dont want me...I'm sure everyone has felt that way once or twice. Great writing...makes you think.
