DAY WITHOUT WORDS

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

It was a day
Without words
Half glances
Careful thought
Mundane tasks
Emotion taut.
Seven years long
Good times and bad
A long winding road
Happy and sad.

Finality crashed
Like a hole in the floor
You packed up your things
Disappeared through the door
A state of deep mourning
Quietness of the room
There still fell echoes
Of your high heel shoes.

In distance a thud
Of car door to close
The sound of the engine
Revved to explode
I gave no defence
Or tried to persuade
No words to offer
I let you evade.

    Goo write N. Yes, I never said a word either. Had a day without words, went off in a huff, threw my toys out of my pram, etc! lol.
    I would add hissy fit too, but it seems that is an outburst of anger, when words would be said.

      lol, we all talk too much, good to have a day off

        Some phrases - and people! - can become rather 'common', saying things like 'Oh yeah', 'Hooray' (Henry), 'Whohoo', etc. Or if upper class, saying 'Tally ho', 'Jolly hockey sticks', etc.

          I am a commoner, wouldnt know about the upper class, they probably wouldnt speak to me lol

          • orchidee

            They would say 'Ok yah!' and stuff like that! lol.

                  A tumultuous exit and sad departure is conveyed in this poem with no resistance from the second party. Well written I could hear that car door and the engine.
