January Writing Prompts 12

"Empty Tomorrows"


We are ghosts

of empty tomorrows;

the bleak grey hues

overshadowing the sun

waiting for light

to break through,

waiting for more

than cold coffee

on the dirty counter,

unattended dishes piled up,

laundry scattered,

clean and soiled mixed,

food untouched for days

because nothing seems

to matter anymore.

Merely a shadow

in the unlit room,

curtains blocking out the world.

Sometimes the worst thing

is to open up and look outside

into the world we don’t

want to be a part of anymore

when this is what our life

looks like inside.
