Gangrene

A Story by CWP
"

I've played with spacing a lot, I'd love some feedback on how it reads ^.^

"
I'm starting to feel it now 
 the pain 
I was supposed to feel the last time I saw 
   his house in my rear view mirror.  

I used to be happy enough 
   with freedom that
  I didn't see our porch in the sunset's clouds 
                                                or 
    his silhouette in every TV I watch. 
I lay down and I expect 
                                    his warm shape to be next to me, 
                         I expect 
                                    his voice when I smell coffee. 

It's like losing a limb, 
                                     the phantom of which
                            will haunt me for the rest of my life.

At least,
                     I no longer 
                                         have gangrene.

About
I'm a stream-of-consciousness kind of writer, sticking to realistic fiction. I like to use writing as a way of lucid dreaming, I guess would be a way to put it, a way to study situations and people. I.. more..
