loss this cold empty house the long abandoned halls no more hearing your sweet voice no long awaited calls no familiar car you drove in the driveway parked no long arguments with you as the neighbor’s dog barked no fine cabernet to share by low candlelight no more making love with care late into the night no secret words or phrases only best of friends know no more staying out so late with familiar places to go no more warmth in the bed for me to hold or to touch no one here to tell I love you or need you so much no clothes left hung in the closet or note left to be read only emptiness here now as I lay in our bed |

Houses... once too small, then too tall... and the echoes are much maddening.  |

It sounds lonely Mark, a great write that held me to the end, feeling sad now (thanks), I think this is how many people live their lives, I hope yours will be filled with someone again and love. Thanks for sharing this. Have a great day. Rick |
