Just Habit
Woke up this morning
Touched your pillow
You were gone
Opened the bathroom cabinet
Your lipstick still there
Walked into the living room
Your perfume still lingered
Made two cups of coffee
By mistake
Set two places for breakfast
Just habit
Turned on the stereo
Never liked your music
Looked at your picture on the wall
A smile
Was it fake or for real?
Never meant to push you away
My true love for you
I never did reveal

Your poem made me wonder who lost out. Not you my friend. Someone missed the love boat. Doors are many and will open for those who seek. Loved this!
thank you so much seek
BRIAN HERE ~ Good Afternoon TWENTY3 ~ Thanks for your second Poem. There are two aspects to every Poem ~ Structure & Subject. MPS has many very different Structures mainly Left or Centre Centered very few chose RIGHT HAND CENTERED & IN BOLD which makes your Structure (Style) very distinctive. This in turn compels us to read it and also to comment ! Most of us have *Loved & Lost* ~ Im 36 so it has happened more than once. My MANTRA (being a Man) is *Better to have Love & Lost than never to have Loved at all* I have learned useful lessons from all my liaisons with LADIES ! Your poem highlights some if the things one misses when a relationship ends. The bed half-empty - traces & scents of your Lover - making TWO of everything - sounds (CDs etc) - smiling photograph etc ! All these things remind us & make us think of the depth of our relationship - that has now ended. Many MPS Members (Yin & Yang) will emphasise with the elegantly penned Subject of your Poem for today. Thnaks for sharing - more please !
Yours BRIAN !
thank you Brian
Reminded me of a piece i wrote some time ago:-
How many times
must we taste
and try
the fruits of
the love tree
before we find
perfect sweetness
Sad fact is, we fail in most love matches probably until two people who are prepared to compromise come together.
Your piece really evocative of the massive hole in ones life immediately after a break up. Well written and presented. Delightful finale to dwell upon.
i really appreciate your comment, thank you dusk arising
Very emotive write 23. Maybe she just wasn't the one for you but I am sure there is somebody out there for you.
Andy
