Suzy,

Damn fine work here young lady. Harness that memory and turn it on itself. Well done, well done...

oh aye, someone's presence can drive you up the wall, that's true, and wittily captured here, sue.

Loved the nursery rhyme opening and the segue into something darker and more sinister.

As I was going to St. Ives
I met with one of my ex-Wives

If it were not for Exes our writes would lack the blues they need.

Anybody and everybody that is so blessed with an 'Ex' is going to relate so well with this one!
You've managed to zero in on the staircase to which they constantly travel.
Great write!

I liked those opening three four lines, but then repetition of the absence could have been dealt better with fresh images...One nit; L10: oppinions-->opinions (or was that pp intentional :))

Overall an excellent work!

eerie isn't it? How someone can be there, but yet in the physical, they're not? Just goes to show how strong the spirit of a person can be. lots of truth and humor in this one, Sue. Love, Leah

How true this is for everyone we've ever known. They all leave a lasting impression - some we enjoy, and then some others we'd rather be without ;-) Nice job of capturing the haunting.
