One month has become two weeks and it scares me.  Soon two weeks will be one and then I will be out of time. I hate time.  My tormentor.  I can’t stop it, or erase it, or turn it back, or change it.  Relentlessly it marches forward, no weapon can stop its onslaught. It’s nearly… Continue reading Time

I look at you and I can’t believe the feelings that bubble up inside of me.  Love, warmth, excitement.  A myriad of sensations and emotions coursing through my veins. The day that you came into my life was the day that I was blessed.  Before then I had just existed.  Day after day just going… Continue reading My Love, My Life

Time heals everything, that’s what they say.  But when we split up, I couldn’t believe that the pain would ever go away or that I’d ever stop loving you.  It hurt me so much when you didn’t acknowledge my letters. But time *has* healed me.  I got to thinking about how you acted towards me,… Continue reading You Have No Right

I still can’t believe that it’s over.  That you’ve walked out of that door for the final time.  How can you just walk out on all the good times we’ve had together over these past five years? ‘You swept the broken years away, just like a brand new broom…’ I look around the room.  Everything… Continue reading Life Goes On

I turn your photos to face the wall; I can’t bear to look at them any more.  In them you are smiling, a picture of happiness.  A myriad of emotions run through me every day.  Hate, despair, embarrassment, fear, sorrow, confusion, and anger; most definitely anger.  I’ve tried to contact you, stopping short at using… Continue reading Illusions

I lie on my bed, the stereo on low, gazing at your photo.  I feel the tears tracking down my face.  I know it’s silly to cry, and yet I can’t help it.  If only you knew. Tonight, in two hours time, I have to be at work.  I can’t face it tonight.  I can’t… Continue reading If Only You Knew

I knew it had to come to an end sooner or later.  She’d always come first, no matter what.  After all, you were married, I was just your bit on the side.  The other woman.  God that hurts. ‘You can pack your bags, take a walk Throw your hands in the air, refuse to talk… Continue reading Can’t Take Your Memory

She’s just sitting there, that face in the window, staring at me.  She has no feelings, no expression.  She feels no pain now.  Her face shows no trace of make-up, her eyes are glazed, her hair limp and lifeless. She sits in a shapeless t-shirt come nightdress; once white with a colourful picture on the… Continue reading A Face At The Window

My hand reaches out shakily to trace the letters carved in the smooth granite.  Everything about this place was cold.  The stone, the earth, my tears, my soul.  How long has it been since I felt any warmth?  How long has it been since tears haven’t tracked their way to freedom down my pale and… Continue reading I Failed You

Life; it is as if I am a block of stone and someone with a hammer and a chisel is slowly chipping away at me; using their hands to form me into something I’m not; something that I have no control over.
