this empty room

How I felt after I broke up with a girlfriend.

 

everything
in this empty room
is moved.
it has finally gone
with you.
i sit on the floor
with my
back against the wall.

i see the light
dancing through the blinds.
embedded rays
on carpet
only temporary.
reminds me of mornings
when the sun flashed
into your sleeping eyes
and beamed against
your silky skin
and hair.

cracked walls
remind me
when we first painted it.
sealing of cracks,
painting us and
the walls.
never really finishing
either.

a smile comes to me.
i think of
our times
in this room
and how
happy we were
together
mornings,
evenings
and nights.

people break up,
it happens.
your smell
and life
may have left,
but i have something
you will never have.
this room maybe empty,
but it is loaded
with lasting memories
that will stay with me
forever.

pain... anguish.. left me speechless... the work highlights the fact of how it hurts even more when you give it your all... but then each thing that happens...happens for a better... and you always have your friends with you...

take care..and keep smiling...

Pain, Pain, it's everywhere. And I won't critique what I empathize with. : ( I'm sorry to hear about it, man. I wish I could help.
