SCRAMBLED ERASED

fragile two did not last but hold a same shared past quite mind heavy and heart messy frazzled empty uses one plate washed with one dirty glass after meals where nothing is passed erased scrambled all is quiet holds conversations with self as spoken aloud each day scopeless depressed just one decides what to keep or closet with recalls viewed raw or perfect darksome listless one lone pillow for sleep and times to weep when reaching out to find no one lonely

Well it is a pity if this contest goes unjudged because these are quite good. . It feels as if it DID get judged though. Are you sure it was not. I did a series of something based on some theme and it got NA. Gotta check that out!

Alone is a positive and good, but lonely is not. That's my view, in short. Best hope and wishes ~ AA

Your words drip with poignancy CayCay. I can almost feel and live that loud silence, sad loneliness and total feelings of isolation. It all makes for a great read. Cheers - Gary

I guess I don't know this feeling to well. Plus I enjoy being alone. But you really convey it well here. Great images to show the emotion
