    January tenth, we touched like before,But something was missing, we chose to ignore.No sign of an end, no hurtful goodbye,Just silence that settled and never asked why.You reached for my body, but haven't since then,No heat, no cold, just...

    • Okay, that is gut-wrenching. To lay there and live a slow death that you did not sign up for. Not right at all.
      This is executed well

    • Thanks for the thoughtful comment Fia.

    Sold

    Many years spent passing the blame All that negativity burned a hole inside No matter how high it ends the same In an empty gutter of swallowed pride   Lessons never learned lead to demise How many times until fear takes hold? Blissful ignorance holds numb...

    • Sometimes I feel like I sleepwalk through life. Especially since I work a lot. Great ink.
