    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.

      It’s not right and it’s not wrong , it’s just the way it is.Like everything in life,even suffering is impermanent.

      🙏

    • Quite moving..thank you for sharing

    • I’ve often felt that pain is preferable to apathy. That quiet passing out of space. This haunts & hurts. So often the case, & always hard

    • First the Technical: Excellent consistency with meter, beautifully executed rhyme.
      Composition: Incredible depth. As Willow noted, the piece reflects a falling away, a loss of touch and intimacy with no explanation. It’s a death of sorts, and you’ve painted it perfectly. Really well done.

    • I hope you didn’t drink the entire bottle.
      🙏

    • Beautifully penned, P.G. Love the flow and wordplay my friend. Used to like Tequila, even better was Mezcal. Of course those days are long gone, I wasn’t able to do moderation very well. Anyways a great write. Appreciate you.

    • Cool piece P.G..Creative. Just don’t overdo it with the hard stuff! And I don’t mean Don’s member!! xxxo

    • There is so much to unpack here: the not-quite-healthy relationship that just feels so good, too good. The conflicting knowledge that you seem all too aware of: /My head is telling me to drink more, my liver screams “GET IT TOGETHER!”/ Been there, done that too many times. Vodka was my liquor of choice, and Stoli was my dear friend (along with Camels) for a good while many years ago. The fact that the knowledge is there speaks volumes to you as a person. Excellent write! <3 Echo

    • Really seems to be a struggle to get the formatting to stay the same. Strike two. 😠

    • Lol, take two, and take three to get the picture aligned. I make simple things hard. Its a gift.

      But more importantly, thank you for your sweet compliment. Fools are getting rarer but players are out there in record numbers. Nice to meet another of the vanishing breed. 🌼

    • I swear to all things fuzzy, if I could get that bookmark function to work, this would be well & truly bookmarked! Amen & pass the bottle! Beautiful…

      • And what a functionally challenged group we are! But I’ll take word for deed, and kindly hand you the flask. Thank you, dear Willow 🌼

    • Thanks reading and sharing your thoughts. Its true, “Those that have it at any level are lucky and blessed.”
