It hits me out of the blue
Like a filmy window
Hinders my view
It starts with a sting
And before I know it
My thoughts of you
Come flooding out my eyes
Running down my cheeks
And disappearing downward
Just like you did
One minute there
And the next gone
… it still hurts so much to miss you

Sally Johnson was quite often poor
Watching money fly out the door
Her boyfriend would spend
Like there was no end
And she was left mopping up the floor

I have had to ask
More than once
Do I matter
You turn silent
You are distant
And our time is short
Once again
You close your mouth
Your eyes are averted
And you make yourself scarce
I’m getting tired of wondering
If I still matter to you
I may no longer ask
And just follow your lead
And disappear

I am glad to be able to have caught up enough to sneak this post in today. I have missed doing these FFFs. This week we go back to January 3rd, 2017 with a post that was originally here.
When the silence hits
It cuts to the bone.
There are no more angry words
No more tears
No more smiles
No more laughter
No more moments of tenderness
…just utter silence
Stillness
Solitude
Emptiness
Loneliness
Since you’ve been
Gone.
You laughed when you saw it
A beautiful young girl
Who slipped on the ice
You found it hilarious
I feared she was hurt
You brushed it aside
Like you didn’t even hear it
The words of pain
I poured out to you
That hot August night
You thought it was crazy
To take the time to help
Someone that was struggling
With a baby in their arms
And no food to feed her
You didn’t even stop
And giving a fleeting glimpse back
The day you left me
With tears in my eyes
And empty thoughts of the future
How did you become so shallow
That you laughed at the broken
Turned on a friend
Ignored the helpless
And abandoned love
Since you are gone now
I will never know…
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – shallow
There was a time
That I would have jumped
The minute you said to
There was a time
When I believed in you
When you were still unsure
There was a time
When the future looked bright
When we had little to show
Those days are gone
You have lost control
And I can’t stand the pain anymore
Those days are gone
You lie so much
And I can’t find peace anymore
Those days are gone
You spew hate
And I can’t feel love anymore
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – control
No smoke and mirrors
No hocus pocus
Just me simply
Fading into the background
Overlooked again
Until I disappear from your memory
And am forgotten forever
Poof! I’m gone
Does anyone even notice?
I took you to
The local favorites
Just to share
My town with you
Now that you’re gone
Those places haunt me
Without you, without you
I shared my
Heart with you
Because you moved me
Stirring emotions in me
Now that you’re gone
It barely beats
Without you, without you
I did my best
To make you family
Including you when I could
In all I did
Now that you’re gone
My family feels fractured
Without you, without you
Without you
I cant breathe
Without you
My soul cries
Without you
I feel lost
Without you, without you
Lost without you…
When the silence hits
It cuts to the bone.
There are no more angry words
No more tears
No more smiles
No more laughter
No more moments of tenderness
…just utter silence
Stillness
Solitude
Emptiness
Loneliness
Since you’ve been
Gone.
