emptiness has over spilled in
rooms that had fullness
silence has replaced the songs
that filled within these walls

scents of stagnates replace the
bouquets of you
dust has covered the goodbye
you lipsticked on the mirror

your coffee cup has remained
unfilled sitting alone along side
the letter you left

the porch swing hangs without
motion that overlooks the flower
bed now filled with weeds

news papers cover the driveway
with mail bulging from the box

the remembrances of you still
casts shadows that linger within
the place we shared together



A voice of honesty
   is treasured
more than voices
   of flattery

Lives entwined can be agony in the unravel.
Emotions expressed so clearly here.
Well done. TD

Nowhere near is pity for someone's lonliness as hurting,
but I feel for you as well.
I'm kinda in somewhat a same posistion..so..
I can empathize with you.
Nice write....Check out my post "Jo"
I'm trying to figure out a new style..

Great heartfelt write.
Lipstick on mirrors and
coffee cups
are easitly cleaned
~~ time heals all wounds!

Always remember to keep them fluffed
but, never, EVER ruffle them!

Well, something good has come out of something sad--this poem! My goodness, you did a fine job with this achy-breaky, lonely-heart situation! I'm there with you and I'm crying!

Remember, "and this too shall pass"...

Loves 'n hugs,
