It has been awhile. I could make excuses, but what would be the point? What matters is that I am back with Writer's Block Wednesday. Tonight's word is SPACE. What I came up with is purely fiction... none of it fact. So with that said, as always, I invite you to reflect and enjoy.
The Space Between Us
copyright 2010
i'm doing all i can
to fill the space between us
watch Monday night football
root for the Bears
fry catfish
make your grandma's mac and cheese
call in the middle of the day
just to say "i love you"
wear heels and skinny jeans
to the mall...
you hate when
i wear flats
listen to rap on repeat
although i prefer
smooth R&B
ignore that you
sleep in on Saturdays
even though
there's tons to be done
graciously agree
to your night out
with the fellas
while i
stay home
with the kids
wake you
when you fall asleep
on the couch
coax you to come to bed
though most times
you never do
filling the space
between us
leaves me
drained
resentful
empty
and leaves
no
space
for me
they need a like button on here. i like this alot actually.
