Gone…

Morning shadows

gradually fade and

the night’s struggle

is revealed

 

Burying my face

in your pillow

I memorize the scent

that is only you

 

After today…

Only a memory

My heart breaks

as I undress the bed

And…

Go on with

my life

ALONE…

How to Go On Alone – Day 10 April PAD

How to Go On Alone

Unexpected call in

the middle of

the night

 

Those calls are

never good…

 

“… we regret to

inform you…”

“… so sorry

for your loss…”

 

And…

 

The dreaded life

of being alone

BEGINS…

Day 10 of April PAD Challenge – the prompt was a fill in the blank “How………”

Hands…

Source: We Heart It

The hands that 

held me…

nurtured me…

guided me…

 

Are long

        Gone…

 

The hands that

gently led me on

a warm Autumn

afternoon under 

a canopy of fiery

leaves and

sheltered me…

taught me…

protected me…

 

Are long

        Gone…

 

These hands once

held by love

Now are aged…

Freckled…

Lonely…

Will never hold 

the hands of 

a child…

another lover…

 

Those hands 

remain…

 

Yet…

 

All others

Are long

        Gone…

Alone

Source: We Heart It

Sigh…

 

Missing you

tonight

 

So far away

and I’m all

Alone again

 

Wanting to hear

your voice

telling me

Good Night!

Walls the Color of Tears

Image: We Heart It

In my life

sadness has always

found me

 

I smile to cover up…

Laugh to go

unnoticed…

 

No one knows

exactly how

I feel

 

But…

 

When I am home…

alone…

In the safety and

quiet of my shower

 

Everything comes out…

I let go…

And…

I see all around me

Everywhere…

The walls are the

color of

My Tears

Another Hotel Room

Image: We Heart It

Alone again…

Traveling…

 

A new city

Yet…

All the hotel rooms 

are the same

 

Functional

But…

Cold…

Unfeeling…

Devoid of personal warmth

 

I call…

You don’t answer…

Message left…

 

Alone with my thoughts

In another

strange city…

strange room…

Empty bed…
