Rest without peace.

In its its/her absents.

I got asked once by her,
Where did the peace inside you go?

I asked
Where did you go?

She just looked at me willing to answer with no words.
So Just for records I had to tell her.

“ Where ever you went my peace just followed you. No matter how oblivion you were with it’s presence, but it never left the sight of you.”

She asked
So you mean you had peace when I was there?

I said
“While you were, My peace had a serious deal with me. It had its own demands to reside with me.
It told me it would only stay if I called you.
I explained,
“no that it’s not possible now, she is busy. “
It said, “then forget about me.”
It further threatened me to leave me alone if I didn’t messaged you.

So I did and said
“ here you go I msged her ,now you can’t go”.
It teased me.
“ not so fast, she has to reply if I am to come to you.”

I said
Should I just have a smoke and then you would be here?
It disagreed
I asked
Should I have a few drinks.
It said
It won’t make any difference.

I informed my peace,
“I gotta sleep you know , I need you.”
It dismissed my request.

I said.
“Ok one phone call. Just her voice and that’s it.”
It said
“It’s not enough. Won’t fetch you the time required to make you fall asleep.”

I said
Ok I’ll try and I hope she says something that would convince you to come to me.”
It didn’t even flinch.

So i Called
The phone wasn’t received .


Then for the longest time it didn’t show up. I yelled for it. It only returned with your reply and calls, That was the only length of time I found my peace glued to me like it would never leave.

But then you left, without any slightest possibilities of returning, you left. And so it left me too. The only way I know what was it like having peace is when I think of us together.

Now it just wonders with you. No matter what I do I am just not able to lure it back to me. It has left me for ever. Cuz you left me............for ever.

Very heart touching words. You have personified peace and did that wonderfully well. Every restlessness you faced was descriptive.
It feels distressing when that peace is lost.

It has all the factors. Like you added that alcohol and smoke part, and how a person loses sleep over someone. It is quite creative too, how you have put it in a story form, that the peace comes when the girl is with you. Very creative!

This works, you can hear his despair, her probing question that she really doesn't want the answer to sets everything in motion.
