You Didn't Notice

 you didn't notice the jacket hanging

you didn't notice the radio was not playing

you didn't notice the keys hanging by the front door

you didn't notice the note on the fridge door

There were many things you didn't notice

The most important thing you didn't notice was she was gone without a trace

you didn't notice the cool air blowing around the kitchen

you didn't notice the stove was off

you didn't notice the barefoot print in blood on the kitchen floor

you didn't notice the broken window pane in the back door

you didn't notice the bloody prints leading away from the house

most of all, you didn't notice the silence invading the rooms

The cold clings to skin like a blanket, drops of wetness sit on wooden tables taunting one to to pop the water bubble if you dare. The tightness of one's chest can be the fear of unknown things that wish to slither along one's spine.

Life Today

 In those days, life was simpler, worries were not as prevalent. In those days, society had morals, life lessons, grandma figures on every corner almost, we didn't have to question her motives. In those days, respect was learned and earned. Nothing was taken for granted, life was lived, people were loved, times were cherished. Today life is complicated, worries are rampant, society has lost its morals, we question everyone and everyone's motives. Respect is just an Aretha Franklin song from the 60's, life is in the express fast-lane, nothing is cherished anymore and love seems to be lost. Life, today.....
