Coffee rings on magazines
Unpaid bills strewn on the floor
TV’s on and flickering
Papers pile up at the door

Toaster seems to have packed up again
Nothing’s working since you’ve gone
Empty wine bottles left on the sink
Can’t see the driveway for the lawn

It’s got so cold now you’re away
I think it’s cause when you left
You left a shell where my soul once lived
And the cold seeps in after such a theft

Winter visits and then never leaves
The phone sits sullen and silent
The wilted flowers hang their heads remorsefully
Pretending they’re not there in the quiet

The sun’s white light shines in mockery
The gate creaks in the brittle wind
Everything tastes and smells so bland
And the news reader on TV is my only friend

I’ve forgotten to put the trash out
And forgotten to pay the electricity too
Can’t remember when I last brushed my hair
The only thing I haven’t forgotten is you

Your photos are scattered all around
They’re out of their frames so I can see more clearly
I didn’t notice when you stole your love from me
But this is a theft that is costing me dearly

Ohh this is such a heart-wrenching write! Its beautiful and breathtaking in a way of its own, captivating from the very first line to the last and so full of sorrow, loneliness and raw emotion. I love it. Very well penned. Thanks for sharing.
