The Abandoned

October 26, 2013 By Erika Leigh Leave a Comment

There is nothing like it A perception of a void Pacing the floor Waiting for only silence From the door Feeling the cold sheets When a leg stretches ‘cross the bed Anticipating the loss of heat Seeing only endings Down every bright hallway Down every loving isle As the last sliver of sun fades On the most magnificent day An inevitability. Seeing each milestone As only a step closer … [Read more...] about The Abandoned

Becoming Small

July 6, 2013 By Erika Leigh Leave a Comment

In every effort to rise above I watch you sink below In every twist to be complete You become a stranger whom I don’t know With each attempt to be more like them You lose your inherent grace With every numbing, blinding choice Your gifts become displaced And while they all may cheer you on Your light gets dimmer yet Misery loves company, my dear, I implore you to not forget It’s … [Read more...] about Becoming Small
