The possibilties that were

[Astrocloud]

Blue eyes stare
Through the open door
Sitting on the bed and
Smiling at me.

Twenty-three
Then twenty-four

Airplane takes off
I watch from the window
You are gone to Europe
I get our cat.

She ran away,
One pitch night
I couldn't stop
The inevitable.

Eleven years later,
A different place and time,
I know you're married now.
With children


The chances that smiled
Now looks so bleak
What options for the needy?
For they are not needed.

Goodbye, Ms. Death, Goodbye again.

Nice

[vonstalhein]

Profound. I liked the cat bit, was a nice contrast.

[Giant Hamburger]

Nice one AC!

Do you think she got another cat?
I kid you because I care.

Painful, but strangely....in a good way.
