Windowsill

Recommended Posts

Laying in bed I see

A cup filled with cold coffee

Three damaged flowers sat in merky water

Wilt in that pink morrocan tea glass with faded etched gold.

Sun faded cards, bent and warped with time and moisture. Smudged with love

Echoing from the barely visible words, that you used to write.

We used to say

And we used to mean.

Collective dust floats

With each occasional gust that slips through the cracks in the frame.

Fingerprinted glass, my fingerprinted glass.

A part of me pushed so hard that it's left an impression whilst trying to escape.

Forcing those Windows open to let any air in.

I need room to breathe.

I love the lines about the wilted flowers in the water, in the glass etched with gold and the lines in the end about love. It's all very beautiful. I'm sorry you're feeling quite a bit of pain, well it comes across in the poem, but I'm glad you could write about it. A creation rather than destruction :)
