Eviction
My world once full of color
Is now monochrome
There is a chill in the air
Where sunshine once lived
In the place we called home
Your voice lingering still
In the empty rooms
Memories from the past
Evicted so cruelly
Now living in tombs

The Challenge was to be inspired by the words Gray, Wind and Echoes but not use them in the poem
A lovely sadness in this poem. Very well done Christine.
the eviction of memories line left an impact on me
Thanks Gina. I always think that in a break up, the one who is left is the one who holds on to the memories. The other just forgets 😢
they choose to forget. being a keeper of memories doesn’t work when you have no one to share it with. that’s how i feel some days
Yes, Gina. I’m so thankful that I can put it in words in this way. Keeping these thoughts to yourself is not healthy
A powerful last finale stanza
“Memories from the past
Evicted so cruelly
Now living in tombs”
Thanks Ivor 🙂
