Slow Erosion

Each tear

each hurt

each neglection

add too many

barricading

no longer do I wonder

time is mine own

apparent

you have made

lack of desire

to be with

unless

on terms you dictate.

Times you demand

without thought

consideration

gentle soul

caring heart

flayed

grated

blown

dust motes

dance through air

only beauty

coming from

what once was

golden dreams…..

love

lasting.

Fool I was.

Kiss good bye…..

the best

you could have had

ever would have had

watch my ass

see the finger

take a hike

get out of my life

and don’t let the door

hit ya on the way out.

Wide Awake Again-Holiday Diary Day 2

Well now here we are day 2 and I even stayed up late last night. 

It was close to 11 before I went to bed. 

Slept straight through. 

No cats playing on me. 

No cats scratching at the closet door. 

So please tell me why at 4 a.m. my eyes popped open?

And not only that but I was wide awake.

Three cups of coffee have been consumed.

Discovered that Tember left the rotisserie chicken in the microwave. 

Since Tuesday….. 

Could have been worse if our temps had been above 25. Thankfully not though had they been I would have discovered the chicken sooner. 

It is a cool morning here despite the temperature being 15 already. I have had to close the window a tad as the breeze is chilly.

 

I will be going to pick Tember and his best friend up this morning. I am ready to go now but they are probably still asleep. Don’t think that the ex would be too happy if I showed up on the doorstep banging on the door at 8 a.m. so I wait for a summoning. 

 

Who knows l may nap at 9 today instead of 10.
