No Vacancy

No more rooms upstairs,
or empty corners,
to place empty thoughts
of you...
Wondering where you are,
what rooms are open upstairs,
in your corners...
Am I in there?
Huddled in your
cobwebs, maybe?
Fresh in the
forefront, possibly?
Forgotten in the
dust piles, perhaps?
Watching the time
tick
down
slowly
like
an
idiot
needing
a cigarette...
Something soothing
deeper,
needing
me
wanting
me
hearing
me
knowing
me...
But where are you
when you said you’d come?
Where are you
when I need you?

If you're reading this... You know who you are.

'ello chicky.  

Now me being the slack ass that I am have not been keeping up with your writing (going to do it later  ) but this is different to some of the others that I have read from you. You seem to have a deeper element of resentment and sadness in this. The ending is your cry for help and the yearning for a person that obviously cannot come back to you.
I thought you started off really well with the inclusion of pauses really giving the piece a lift. The one thing that I think you should look at would be to stick some italics in there somewhere. Some of those lines really call for it because when read, they almost sound like a whisper and a whisper to me is reminiscent of a cry. You already have so much going for this piece, Marie, that just some little extra additions of italics might push it right up to the line and put it in the 'totally awesome' category.  

Thanks for sharing this.

you asked me not to bump this.. well, Cherish did.. it's not my fault

I felt the power in this piece... it's remarkable how you put your feelings and thoughts into images soo deep and real!

It's sad that things keep you from posting and so many things... you may never stop!

Cherish!  You goof!  You had to make sure that I came back to PIP because of those darn notification emails!

This certainly is an oldie... the content actually hurts to think about now.  Luckily, those feelings are long gone now

Cody:  Thanks so much for replying, and I'm glad that you picked up on the ticking!  

Jenn:  It means so much that you took the time to read and reply to such a oldie.  But thanks nonetheless..

Dastard:  You're such a sweetie!  *big hugs*  Thanks for replying... it means more to me than I can say!  

Thanks bunches you guys.

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.

...great way of putting it in an original format... hopefully whoever you wrote that about hears you.
