Linda’s SoCS prompt.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ring.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Bonus points if you use it as both. Have fun!
"She's not home, yet, I'll give her a ring." Voicemail left, then I hear a ping Phone left here on the bedside table And then I spy the glint of a ring My heart contracts, I feel the sting Head spinning, I sit, unstable Under the ring a crumpled note 'Dear John,' her unsteady hand wrote 'I'm sorry it had to come to this By now, I realise you'll know And so I think it's time to go without that fabled one last kiss She told me in my dreams last night She'd take me before last light I couldn't let you see My body's broken, my mind a mess Yet you never loved me less I hope you forgive me Goodbye my love, know I'm at peace No more pain, no more meds increase This thing, it has not won Instead, it's me, gone at my will Even though my eyes, they fill Tears, I choose to shun ... Ritu 2022 I must say, I have no idea where this came from...
But I Smile Anyway...
