winter came early

Winter came early
By kenny merrell

Winter came early this year
It started with a cold shoulder
And unspoken words
I hate it when you are angry with me
Breathing is no longer automatic
I have to think about each breath I take
I count each heartbeat in an empty room
You left this morning and now I wait
I hear the ticking of the clock
How will I live without you
You won’t answer your cell
"Leave a message "a disembodied voice replies
The phone is heavy in my hand
That damn clock!
Tick tick tick
There is no one to turn to
I’ve severed all ties
Now there is only me
In a cold room
The TV blaring
With no sense
And
I wait for your return

Thankfully this was only a dream that I woke to in a cold sweat.
I don’t know why our minds try to find the worst scenario it can find and then have us experience it. It seemed so real. I was so thankful when I woke this morning and Carol was right there by me and she smiled a good morning
Love is so grand when you have the right partner
