OK, the first poem I've ever written. Some lines taken from a song lyric I wrote but restructured to a poetic form - I hope.
I think it needs an ending, and probably many other things too!
Have at it!
Her coffee cup sits lonely on the counter
Its lipstick kiss still smiles at me
The kitchen clock ticks round and round without her
This is when it hurts
Not in the knock down drag out fight
Not in the angry scream and shout
But on a quiet Sunday morning
As the bright new day is dawning
This is when it hurts
Her laughter used to fill this room
Now silence takes its place
I turn around to talk to her
And find an empty space
This is when it hurts
I think it needs an ending, and probably many other things too!
Have at it!
