The sigh deepens as I navigate my thoughts,
eyes roaming the surroundings room by room.
The dying flowers on the table, centered,
a reminder of once being good to myself.

The silence, a week ago comforting, now grating
to ears locking in the message of emptiness.
Piles of mail, unopened, untouched but for the top
and bottom, unwanted.

Phobias creeping in, days collecting into weeks,
unlived and useless, time becoming meaningless
living in fear.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

Impressive write and in certain passages also familiar ... but it's just too sad.
Renew the flowers, be good to you. You are not alone, ever, dear Maureen!
Love and hugs. Margherita

Very sad...such a lonely write by someone who should never feel this way.
Well done Maureen.
Hugs~

Poetry is not an opinion expressed...
it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound
...or a smiling mouth.

Hi nakdthoughts. Oh my this is sad...but so well written. I love it of course. I am very pleased I decided to read this today. I really haven't been feeling well lately, but today I woke up feeling a little better and so I decided to treat myself with some reading...glad this was one of the ones I chose to open. Bravo!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
