In a fit of pique, we took issue with their words

We needed sage advice, from those who knew

Instead we shed the blood of thousands of men

The bitter act of war, is never the last thing to do

Bitter is this winter day

The winds cut through my skin

These old bones begin to shake

I can feel the cold within

Chattering, my teeth

As they play a musical tune

“Summertime” I hear them say

And it can’t come too soon

Age has taken hold of me

I like the cold no more

So I’ll curl up by the fireplace

Let it warm me to the core

 

Writing Prompt – Bitter Bones – Day 31/31 ~ And this completes Michelle’s writing prompts for December.  Bring on the New Year!

Disenchanted, my heart disbands

As pieces fall into your hands

Memories cast aside as none

Broken more, become undone

Once so perfect, in every way

Now so bitter, we cannot stay

We’ve fallen into this empty space

Love’s gone forever, without a trace
