When I Think of You

You were part of him

lovingly, I tucked you in at night

now I miss your funny faces

I would never say it out loud

you're the only thing I miss

that best part of me, when

you called me mom

I don't miss the craziness, 

the fighting and the brawls

I sometimes wonder

what she tells you, when

he doesn't show up until morn

but not often, the dog

also wonders,

about where you've gone

hard to develop and adapt to a new routine when everything seems so alien, n'est pas? correct me if i am wrong, but i get the sense this is about adjusting to separation or even (dare i say it?) divorce....this piece speaks gopher holes full of profundity and i agree with jacob about the line about the dog....lends a realism to the whole worn out issue of lost liaisons...well penned!

[rhythm&blues]

Yes, most recently divorced, does it show? Thank you so much, I do appreciate you reading me.

[quinfinn]

it shows, but possibly only because i have been there more times than i care to let on..it gets easier...eventually! hang tough...

[rhythm&blues]

It's quieter and different, I will say that much, thank you again.

[quinfinn]

you'll come to appreciate and even embrace the peace and quiet...when that gets old, spread your wings and fly again.

[rhythm&blues]

Funny you should say, that's what all my friends say too, I think I'll take a little time for myself before I take the plunge again!

[quinfinn]

indeed you should.....get your ducks in a row ..good advice

[rhythm&blues]

Smiling at *ducks* :)
