Did you take your pills? Nag, nag, nag, There she goes again. Did I do this, did I do that. I could surely do without her. My breakfast is burnt toast, The eggs are too done, My coffee is colder than I like. Why is she still here? Go by the store, get some bread, feed the dog, and water the cat. What an old bat! The house was quiet today. She is quiet too. No one cares what I did, or did not do… I can not... do without her. My breakfast I skipped, There was no eggs, coffee… or bread. She is not here anymore. The dog cries sometimes. The cat ran away. I miss her face. I forgot my pills. I don’t care.

Oh wow Ann. I'm sure a lot of folks go through this; that's why my Mum used to say, "Always say I Love You to someone in your life everyday"; you never know when they might not be there. This is a sad but beautiful poem Ann in its own right.

G'day Ann … sometimes the vacuum left takes quite a while to fill. Routine is upset; emptiness fills the time together, and it's only time that slowly offers change - thank you Ann for your insightful verse - Lindsay
