Whilst I sit upon this empty bench
My thoughts return to you
I can’t imagine why you left
I don’t know what to do
I can wile away the time of day
Pretend you’re here with me
Oh, how my heart has turned to gray
What made us disagree?
Alas, twas me, who chased you away
Each night, we spent, together
I tried to say goodbye, my love
But you were already gone, forever
Word prompt : I tried to say goodbye – Join in with Michelle, from Putting My Feet in the Dirt & Her Writing Haven. She has come up with amazing word prompts!

Oh I’m so glad! I plan to do this every month. I think it will be helpful and fun for anyone who wants to participate. And it’s true… they can be taken in so many different directions. And that’s the great thing about writing prompts, you get to see a different response to each one from writer to writer. Full speed ahead! Lol… 😉

If we are honest with ourselves we all look back at those empty benches. There is that one that you never talk about lays in your soul.
