Literature Text

Splashing cool raindrops rapidly fell;
Blurring the lit cityscape behind my window.
I whispered a heavenward prayer
As I kneeled on the floor of our empty house,
Clutching your shirt in my hand.

I picked myself up
And let my legs carry me into our bedroom
Where I pulled a blanket over trembling skin;
But no inanimate object could warm me
Like your arms once did.
Been a while since I've put pen to paper... or fingers to keyboard, I should say. Hope you guys like it.

a sad and wrenching depiction of abandonment :(
