Still House

FredPeyer

Surrounded by the stillness of the house

With her presence still lingering languidly

He was sitting dejectedly at the kitchen table

Holding her perfumed stationery note

That simply said: ‘I’ve had enough’

          Good write I can feel his rejection being left with a note , very cold

          • FredPeyer

            Thanks WL, at least he had a note. Some are left with nothing. I just wanted to capture the mood immediately after a breakup.

            Very great write Fred. You’ve captured that moment so well. Very deep and sad. I could feel the emptiness of the house right on my heart.

            • FredPeyer

              Thanks Malu, the whole poem is really just about that initial moment of loneliness.

            • Louis Gibbs

              Ouch! That would cut deep. Glad it came from your fertile imagination. Well done, Fred!
              P.S. Welcome back, Kat!

                Thanks Louis, I once, a long time ago, received a 'dear John' letter, but that worked out for the best.

              • Poetic Dan

                This was so powerful for me!
                To many words to put in any story of order, so I'll just give thanks for help you are giving me.
