It’s a little bit late this week, but I noticed that our hostess also posted her drabble a bit later this week.
For your entertainment, here is my drabble:
Abandon
Little life, quiet and beautiful with eyes so bright.
I see you look at me, feel you as you reach out to me. I scoop you in my arms and hold you, touch you, kiss you lightly on your head. Together, we run and jump. I hold you above my head and spin you around until I loose my footing. You are not mine, but you bring an echo in my heart. A yearning for what I might never have.
And then you leave and you return to your own mother. You, the child of my colleague.
And I stand there, alone.
Abandoned.
Oh…my heart aches…only because it strikes a chord in me for the exact same reasons.
Hugs for us both.
🙂 Yup, hugs for us both!
Thanks Jenn
that’s a really beautifully expressed piece, Alyss!
Thank you Ryan. 🙂
I ditto Jenn, stuck a chord too.
“an echo in my heart” , I really liked that line, very poetic makes my heartache too.
🙂 thank you.
Tender and poignant. Its bound to resonate with readers, especially women.
