In the Morning You are No Longer Here
I pull the curtains back
With a sigh
Contemplating the secrets
We share
The room is dark
You whisper to me
We share secrets
Nothing is clear
Everything in shadow
With a sigh
I reveal all
Your words are lost
In the folds of my mind
In the morning
I pull the curtains open
You are no longer here

Beautiful. I especially love the closing lines........"In the folds of my mind.......you are no longer here." Sigh.
Oh gosh this is so poignant. The thought of one being so close and yet obscured behind the folds.. I love the tenderness in "Everything in shadow with a sigh I reveal all. Your words are lost." Thank you so much for writing to the prompt💖
wonderful work to go with the quote.
In shadows you exist, but when the sun is exposed - poof - so some secrets are not good!
Sometimes, in the darkness where shadows linger, we see more, remember more, hear the whispers of what once was.
Then day breaks, bringing its reality, and something is lost...but we can find it again...
A beautiful and poignant write Annell.

Sometimes it feels like dreams are real, and daylight just a dream...
I pull the curtains open
You are no longer here
One feels and believe everything would be ok but not so. Reality hurts!

There are times I would rather live in the dream.
This is delightful (as razors go), diaphanous and sheer and slicing right to the heart. Very well done.
There is a deep sadness here but also beauty in every carefully chosen word
Oh, how very poignant!
