I can't pretend anymore

that you are still

here with me

somehow


I can't hold you

when you're crying

I can't love you

like I used to


so many things

we've left undone

I'll never get used to

dinner for one

Short but powerful in conveying thoughts and emotions. I can relate to this since I have experienced it in the past. Love and peace to you, Pierre.

An eloquent poem of longing and loss.

Speaks for the loneliness created by habit broken by divorce, or worse, death.

In my long single career, I grew fond of my dinner for one. Enjoyed cooking and eating simple food from scratch that kept me healthy and out of lonely sitting alone at a table and ordering while couples and families chatted loudly all around.
