who will I be if you leave
how will your absence change me ?
will the roar of nothingness fill in the space
where run on sentences caught us up on our days
will I spin and dance alone on the cold tile of
the kitchen floor ?
and the key you let yourself in with
shall I leave it beneath the mat outside our door ?
will I crash on the couch and watch TV alone ?
turning to see what you think before I realize
you are gone
all the sunsets will be mine, the space in the closet, mine
the silence I once craved swallowing up my time
no, I will not be who I used to be anymore
Winter wonder, Summer love
between the heat of your hand and the cool of your heart
won't live here like before
I will love better next time
the reception in the rear view mirror will
be much more clear
the sky above and before me
belonging to the one who doesn't
love his past anymore
just me
Haven't posted anything here in so long. Missed being here. Don't know if anyone will even see this, but it's worth a try. Life is hard on everyone at the moment and I find myself struggling with how easily the beauty and ease of a simple life can just be erased and destroyed by the whims of others. If you find this and read this I wish you well. Peace always - Vanessa
