Stranded and alone
I just needed some time to think. Time away from you, away from everything. You were my life and that life ended when you walked out.
Will you miss me? Will you even notice I’m gone, or even care?
I didn’t let anyone know where I was going, so there’s no telling how long it’ll take before anyone starts looking for me. It’ll be too late then.
You broke my heart and my spirit, leaving me lost, stranded and alone.
A storm is coming soon. I can smell it, feel the electricity in the air. I long for the release.

The flow is so perfect for the moment. My favorite is the second to the last paragraph. It captures her brokeness. I loved it.
nice. sigh.
I feel like I could have written this. Not as well as you did, but..Wow. This was so gorgeous.
Touches a universal nerve, doesn’t it?
All of it was beautiful, but it was the storm part that brought the tear to my eye.
Who hasn’t ever felt this way and then be able to express in 100 words a myriad of emotions – brilliant!
Oh, how sad and moving and quietly determined in her brokenness. So well done.
Came from the 100 Word Song linkup.
Oh lovely. I really enjoy that it is an interior monologue. I know I’ve certainly had these kinds of thoughts in my life (though luckily without the ending that I believe you’re foreshadowing here!). It’s great when a piece really speaks to universal feelings without being trite. Good stuff!
This is very moving in so few words. I loved it.
This is a beautiful poem. Very soulful and honest.
