You'Ve Left

~ You've left ~ You've left The house is lonely You've left Our home is bereft You're gone The good is now bad You're gone Our lives are now sad Your Love is missing Its warmth undistinguished Your Love is missing All its sparks extinguished You've left The house is lonely You've left Our home is bereft

It is strange but life is never the same after someone you have lived with for a long time leaves. You have penned this feeling well my friend.

True. Although I neglected the truth that sometimes things get better (!) after the long-time 'roommate' leaves! Smiles, Gershon

What a fantastic write! Reminds me of empty nest. My first Christmas without the kids, I didn’t even want to look at the Christmas tree...hated decorating it. The holidays felt empty.

Yeah, holidays just aren't the same, and the house grows so empty, cavernous veritably. :) gw

Sorry, Arturo. I hate when others do that to me. My deepest apologies. ~ Gershon

such a sad lonely feel to this poem... when love walks away a home feels more like an empty house... Good write... hugs

So true, when love walks away... so sad and lonely. Cheers, Gershon
