Daily Prompt: Tenterhooks

mywords2228

Tenterhooks something some used back in the day to hang their laundry and something some still do now.

Somethings you would think wouldn’t still be around but it is for some have grown up using them and why stop doing something if it worked for you then and it still works now.

You may have to make more trips outside because of the weather than you would have if you had a washer and dryer.

But, you enjoy the amount of time it takes to do this and it keeps you moving through out your day.

Something from the past that you not only share with the ones you love  but something you learned to do when you were little and something you cherish as you continue to grow up and live on your own.

Surrounded by everyone and feeling so excited that this journey is over, yet the feeling of saddest washes over me as we all walk off  the stage.

And take our seats again, the thought that I don’t get to spend most of my day with these people, my friends is coming to an end and as much as I wish we would stay connected.

The reality is it’s been years since that day and I only talk to some of you once in a blue moon and it’s sad but I’m living my life and so are you and I’m just glad for the memories.

Do you

mywords2228

still remember the times we laughed together and just got to know each other.

Now it feels like it was all in the past and now seeing you feels so empty and pointless, every emotion shut down.

Like I had to put myself on lockdown and you became  a stranger to me and, now  there is no reaction in me when you come around.

Your now a ghost to me and there is now no trace of you when you walk into my life now and I start to wonder if all the time we spent together was just a dream.

Because the person I see standing in front of me is not the person I thought I knew, you tower over me like a warrior in battle and  I am now the enemy and there is no way you’re letting me get close.

And in the end I just walk away and shake my head for it’s so sad for me to see you so lost that you would push me away and, I looked deep into your soul and saw no regret or emotions at all.
