He thrives on sadness

…Feeds…

On pieces of your broken

…Heart…

His words are harsh and

…Cruel…

His thirst is quenched by your

…Tears…

Stay strong, don’t let his

…wickedness…

Destroy your kindred

…Soul…

Carpet…

The last time you were

Here…

You held me close

And…

Then kissed me

And…

Whispered in my

Ear…

I love you baby

I’ll…

See you soon

Before…

You left that

Afternoon…

Many nights before I

Slept…

I looked up at the

Moon…

Then closed my

Eyes…

And wept because I

Reminisced…

About the footprint

In…

The rug that

Afternoon…

Never to hear

Or…

See you again

I…

Look up at the

Moon…

Eyelids…

Heavily weighed down by

Residue…

From his addictions from the day

Or…

Night before, not knowing

If…

Its day or night; but

Thirsty..

For alcohol and hungry for

Drugs…

A monster deteriorating

With…

A circle of

Thugs…

Daily Prompt: My First Time

Being married at the young age of 18, and now in my fifties, I remember the day vividly.

September 15th 2011 was the first time I started living alone. I was extremely busy most of the day, cleaning, and shopping for groceries, and small appliances.

When I sat down to rest, the reality of being along begin to overwhelm me.  It formed a burning pit in my stomach. I started visualizing the future of cooking for myself, eating alone, and knowing how much I will miss the sound of a voice, even though the words were no longer loving, they were harsh; a cutting edge to a bleeding heart. Nevertheless, it was a voice and the walls didn’t smother me, and the ceiling collapse into the floor, and I was the matted carpet to walk on. At least, not every day.

Once the day turned dark, I cringed when I looked at the bed. I had to sleep alone. It was cold and uninviting even with the exhaustion that had consumed my body from the day’s activities.

Exhaustion of the body, didn’t take precedence over the pondering mind. The nights turned to days, and I continue to toss these same thoughts month after month. Which have added up to a couple of years.

I hope and pray that someday, I will not sleep alone, and eat alone. I’m not meant to live alone.
