The Saddest Song We've Got
Darling are you feeling
The same thing that I'm seeing?
The troubles of the day
Took my breath away
Took my breath away
Now you're no longer talking
And I'm no longer hearing;
There's nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway
And I want you...not
I need you...not
I'm dying
'Cause this is the saddest song I've got
The saddest song I've got
Darling are you healing
From all those scars appearing?
Don't it hurt a lot?
Don't know how to stop
Don't know how it stops
Now there's no sense in seeing
The colors of the morning,
Can't hold the clouds at bay
Chase them all away
Chase them all away
And I'm frozen still
Unspoken still
Heartbroken
Remembering something I forgot...
Something I forgot.
Annie Lennox "Bare" 2003
Yes, this probably means a broken up relationship between living partners.
But I still feel it can pertain to the context of Tom being gone.
His death was the saddest thing I ever experienced.
I am still emotionally "out of order" 3 years later .
I look normal ( well , as normal as that is with me ), but inside I am still a lost soul staggering around looking for a ray of hope to illuminate a key to why .

All I can say, sweetie, is I hear you and I get it.
I keep hoping the universe has an answer for you.

Oh I wish you lived close by me...I don't know what I would do without my friends, who are also widows....it's amazing how many women are widows.....Your crafty, and I'm crafty I know we would be great friends......it will be 11 years on Oct. 18th that my husband passed away.....it wasn't a violent death like your Toms but it ended up the same......we are alone.....and I haven't dated anyone. Just not interested....but thank God for friends......but I must say as hard as it was losing my husband, losing my granddaughter Ali to cancer was even harder....she was only 17.....it will be 7 months Oct. 1 .....
