The Room
This room has seen
us to the last.
The years have cast our meetings here
as images on frosted glass
with raindrop spray.
Our secret past is sealed away
inside a dream…
This room has seen a place
where I belonged to you,
and you alone belonged to me.
Such love is true apparently
inside this room.
This room has seen me spread my wings
and writhe beneath your welcome weight,
has heard me scream,
has watched me quake.
Then when it seemed that I would break,
this room, like sanctuary made
the burn recede.
It dulled the blade.
This room has seen
our last goodbye,
has watched me tangled up inside
your scent,
your smile,
your emerald green.
But I have wiped the surface clean
and still don’t know just what you mean
by ‘every happiness’.

What the heck is wrong with nurses these days… every time they tell me to bend over… is this part of your nursing training or something!?

Slightly belated welcome to DUP. Reads to me as a last look round what had been a shared home. Favourite chunk:

I very much like the ending - really captured the feeling of love and happiness lost.
Sorry you needed to write it.

I'm so glad you liked it, and I'm not sorry I had to write it. I took care of that at the top.

Alright... let's just back the hell up.
Your shlong is sixteen inches, and you mow the grass with it, but you are single.
(shakes her head)
You need me to show you what to do with that mower don't you...

hahahaha, I tie it together in a neat bundle. I'm having trouble explaining it to my neighbors though. :)
