Words of Art – Day 93 – Conversations on the Floor

Conversations on the Floor

Now that she is gone
He finds himself surrounded by
Empty conversations left laying
Scattered on the floor.
      Conversations he could have had
      Conversations he should have had
      …. with her.

Instead,
He just knocked them off the table
And kicked them under his feet.
He tried to hide them,
But no matter how hard he tried
He could not stop her
From tripping over the copious conversations
Left lying on the floor.
      Conversations she could not live without
      Conversations that he
      Could not/would not have
      …. with her.

Now that she is gone
He finds himself surrounded by
Empty conversations left laying
Scattered on the floor.
