Each Day

EACH DAY EACH DAY EMPTIER THAN A WINE BOTTLE You hold on so tight yet eventually you want to let go You smile that smile that lifts me high Yet now you want to keep it within Then each day you take a step back Are you scared? But scared of what? EACH DAY UNOCCUPIED THAN YESTERDAY You want me to stand Look at you as you walk away With those gifted hands that kept me strong Yet I feel I can’t stay spaced out Scared that I won’t find my custom EACH DAY MORE CALAMITOUS THAN ONE EVER KNOWN You never come out straight For your heart has conflicts And you can’t decide You make my life seem so terrible Scared of losing you Afraid of feeling empty Renitah

WOW! This is a deep and powerful piece! It's sad when the one you love, doesn't love you enough to make a commitment. Excellent write, Renitah! Keep these wonderful reflective pieces coming! A7! Pandita
