Alone

December's harshness in the air can never quite compare to the ice inside your eyes-your stoic lack of apathy. So now your gone, and what have you left me? warm wine three quarters left untouched; a faded photo down the hall; drab dishes stacked in stained grey cabinets. The oaken table left unfinished beside a bare and sterile wall. Do not return again, my love; . To many chilly days have been absorbed into -to many frigid nights.

An excellent piece reflecting the loneliness that hovers after love has gone - only memories and a cold house left behind! Just a wonderful write, Allen! Best wishes. Pandita

December's harsh cold combines well with the chill of frigid love, Allen. A lot of unfinished business, such as the untouched wine and oaken table add to the drab atmosphere. ~ Regards // paul

A clever write Allen, portrayed with vivid and imaginative poetic phrases - sometime alone for a while is better - it won't be forever! Hugs, Jennifer.

I hope she doesn't try to come back to hurt you! There are worse things, I think, than being alone.
