Undying: A Love Story by Michel Faber
5.0
How touching, honest and full of the undying love to his wife Eva this poetry collection is. Some of the poems were quite intimate and revealed a lot more I would have expected. Poem, that moved me incredibly deeply, was the first one after Eva's death "F.W. Pain Ltd, Bryson House, Horace Road, Kingston"
"...Besides, its over now.
I'm surplus to requirements
You are with others of your kind
and I, at last, am absent from your mind.
There are so many people I should tell
that you have left me.
A challenge for another day.
How warm it is! It has become July.
I look up as I walk, and in the sky
I see the first of all the moons
we will not share."
How you notice usual, ordinary things around you and realize, never can you share these with her/him again. The first time you are going to admit, that this has ended, life will be never the same and the person you loved has gone.
Anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one will recognize the pain, the anger, the grief that Michel Faber was going through, opened his soul to share the hard emotions with the reader.
