something new

a stray thought on a rainy day.

The closet shifted
from grey
to red and blue
with hints of lavender
and yellow splashed
sunny days before
either of them noticed
she had already
traded him in
for something
                    new.

it is like that often... for various reasons the beginning of the end is more subtle in its displays.. your use of different clothes and colors is nicely done... with me it was arguments over stupid things and silence..

Interestingly, it often takes us unawares -- I don't think I consciously acknowledged the shift till much later ...:)

A amazing poem. Best way to lose a bad place or memory. Create a better place and memory. I like this poem. Honest and true. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.

Old clothing must go and sometime the furniture too. You are welcome my friend.

The change is so buried within, it brings the small details out and people so seldom notice before the colours clash! x

[Lyn Anderson]

This is true. It really happens before both parties are aware.

[Madalyn Beck]

So very true. The change begins long before the change happens. xo (:

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, well said.

we've left most relationships long before we have left them.

Isn't that the truth. You are a smart man.
