April Pad Day 4, 2015
The prompt for today is a Departure poem.
YOUR LEAVING
My heart is heavy
with the pain of your leaving
I am paper words
waiting to blow away
You took the color of
my mornings
and darkness blooms
where the sun used to play
the hours bind me with
their long black arms
dragging me through
unbearable memories,
phantom whispers
of happier times
I am slipping, thinning
to nothingness,
lines on the page
fading away.
