Shock
My head is spinning
Round and round.
My feet can barely lift
Off the ground.
My hands are shaking
Left and right.
My throat is itchy,
Sore, and tight.
My eyes are filled
With salty tears.
My heart is aching
With all my fears.
I feel the letter
Underneath my fingers,
Where the smell of you
Still lingers.

I could definitely see it getting into the magazine, you really put all of your emotions into this piece.
I'm sorry for your loss; no one should have to go through that.
Anyway, this is a great poem! It's simple, but is beautifully descriptive. My only criticism is you should generally keep your stanzas the same length. The last stanza with four lines was out of place because the other stanzas had two lines.
