Dry Nose and A Heavy Heart

Don't be a ghost reader make yourself known please comment

I wake up early
my eyes are tired
slightly burning
my body is lethargic
and I have to pee

I slide out of bed
as to not wake the cat
I go to the bathroom
pee, shower, and brush my teeth

The house is dry
as I pour my cereal
I look outside
to see a cardinal in the snow
as I add my milk

The news says something
important that I really don't care about
the cat walks in
trying to drink the milk
then looks confused
as he looks for you

This morning isn't the same
as any other morning
you should be here
but you left
one small thing
I blew out of proportion

Now I sit here
with a dry nose
and a bowl of cereal
while that cat cleans himself
and the news anchor laughs
I'm alone once more
but now
I'm thinking of you

Sweetly sad in that sense of loss we all experience when someone we really care for is not there because of some silly, meaningless, spat we had over things we rarely even remember were about. Romance is there in mourning, awaiting the light of that special one's return to rekindle the fire .... Nicely done, very lovely and enjoyable to read ...

Why thank you good sir I would bow but we're on a computer and I'd feel silly so I won't I like the abstract poems as well as the ones that focus on real life like this attempt
