Stripped

Some days
I just want
to strip you
of all
connectives,
associations,
wasted adulation
and those
who’ll never
understand.

Sometimes
I need your
smile,
the sound of
your mornings,
forgotten endearments
that always
distance us
away from
you.

Some nights
I crave
more than
an illusion,
dreams that
fiddle about
my cobweb
head, the
blank pillow
and too
hollow bed.

Some days
I need
the knowing
of where
you are
not the
who I
want of
you.

    Lovely, quite sad though. The longing of that certain someone is evident. Good Job!

    Full of echoing sadness "the blank pillow
    and too hollow bed." Great emotion!

    Superb

    A very fine mood piece, indeed. I liked the imagery which you created; as I felt, I could relate to your mood. Thanks for sharing this one.

    *sigh* blank pillow, hollow bed, nights with illusions and dreams playing in your head... it sounds to me like your lover is away from home. Mine too.
    Some days are harder than others. This was written really beautifully. Its straight-forward but still full of illistrations.

    Reminds me of Meat Loaf
