it never truly exsisted

well you invest in nothing and that is what you get. i tried to put a different spin on my emotions as of late.

 

 

The only thing that was never really there…

 

A dog with no collar

A clock with no second hand

A sink with no drain

A window with no screen

A game with no pieces

A TV remote with no batteries

A closet with no door

A phone with no numbers

A refrigerator with no food

A bag of chips with no salsa

A car with no gas

A restaurant with no costumers

A park with no trees

A protest with no message

A picture with no frame

A blast of thunder with no lightening

A sky with no stars

A sun with no moon

A necklace with no neck

A page of lyrics with no melody

A finger with no ring

A dance with no dancer

A voice with no song

A hand with no touch

A body with no contact

A thought with no mind

A mouth with no smile

A vision with no eyes

An ear with no listening

A soul with no love

A love with no time

 

It never truly existed.

Oh I really love this Danielle...and I like the way you express, "you get what you settle for." I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says, "settle for more," because I think there are times we've all done the opposite. You've taken a list form poem and really expressed a lot of truth, wisdom and heartbreak. Excellent work.
