Empty Wardrobe

written in 30mins

the arms on his chair are tatterd at torn

his tattoos on his arm tell a story,

the fading of ink 

and the aging of skin

folded over like old oragami,

he fought in the war

with a sheild and a sword

to protect what he called his family,

now hes sat all alone 

sat alone at home

not a  visit at all hes lonely.

recollecting the past

looking at photographs

wiping tears of his cheek 

with the dress she wore last

hes got nothing to loose

while hes watching the news

he's disgraced at soicetys ways

he polished his shoes

finshed his 'booze

and then  wrote a note that states,

'i got bored of waiting,

im very impatient

but this rocking chairs making me weak,

as i rock back and forwards

watch--ing unimportant

stories on the tv,

i cant even hear it,

and i lost the remote 

so i guess its time to go'

as he packs his bag 

and puts on his hat

the tablets start taking effect

he lies in bed

and holds on to the dress 

of his wife that should never have left.

Wow in deed. Your write is outstanding. The imagery fairly jumped out from the page. Well done!
