Occupant

remnants of you

still reside in me

the rent belligerent

in cost

the heart deep inside

wrapped in grief

huddling in blankets of

remembrance

shivering

unable to afford

even one tear.

Yes at some point tears become to expensive. As we age - as -I age I have put them on rations

dear Jacob... when Memories are huddled under Blankets... there is a Calmness of Holly Berries on a Wreath of Christmas Joy... Wishing you a Blue Christmas with memories bestowed. softly, Pat

Wow. Many years ago I tossed out a lot of things left in my house, YEARS after a break-up ... she still is there sometimes though ... rent paid through conflict. ~Jim

Fave lines
Huddling in blankets of remembrance

Truly beautiful sad write.
I’m sure if everyone had a book of memories yours would be the most descriptive

The below lines could stand alone Jacob.

Our memories. A blessing or a curse? Powerful dance of words and thoughts my friend.
