Congratulations to this week’s winner Geezer

 

There's Always Tomorrow...

I miss you, I miss the feel of your skin;
your cold hands as they seek the warmth of my neck.
I miss the smell of your breath, Pepsi, cigarettes, and love.
The chuckles of amusement at the tickle of chill fingers.
Holding on to each other until we are warm, and the day takes us away.

Today, you go about the business of static living, unforgiving.
You don't know me, I can't forget, you won't remember.
Roommates with history, lovers before doubt.
Is it you? Is it me? Who wins?
Head games require more effort

Tomorrow I will try harder.
I have enough noises in my head this morning.
Today I will coast, stay static, let it be.
Tomorrow, I will be rested, retuned and sharper, maybe a winner...
Yeah, tomorrow should be a good day.

This is great

Last week was the anniversary of a losing a friend and I really felt this. You do such a great job giving the reader a feeling for who this person was, especially with invoking multiple senses. This is a poem I think has universal appeal
