Three reasons to leave
I
I seem to be so alone,
talk brings nothing new,
we're only drifting through
some old emotions, me and you.
II
Listen to the empty house,
melancholy papers over fears ,
folds it deep in wasted years,
apathy that each room hears.
III
To drown, I slump in bars,
no thought or loss,
or blood I've coughed,
this time the head comes off.

Dear R,
You’ve certainly listed some very intense reasons not to stay. When it’s time to go it’s just time to go hard though it may be. While a difficult yet relatable subject to comment on your format is admirable with the list and powerful in its brevity. H🌷

Really appreciate the feedback H, this one was for the competition but the theme was maybe to close for three pieces. Many Thanks R
