THURSDAY

This time I post nothing related to the prompt but a poem I wrote a few months ago...

Hollow

Today I felt like I garnered tons of respect
but this was just not quite enough
I also gained a price for my life long contribution
but this didn't make any difference at all, either

At noon my friends got me a surprise party
I admit i didn't expect after all these years that they do the same
And my kitty gave birth to eight healthy fluffy kittens
I was just sad to have to give away

A new show launched on TV this afternoon
and producers promised it to be more violent and pretentious than ever
And as if this was not already enough
I got myself a limited- edition cardigan
I was definitely not in need of
but all my colleagues had purchased even a month ago

This day was long,
because depite all these I was trying to find you between the crowd
or at the subway and the bar I had my brunch served
But I could see you you nowhere
and that dessicated my chances to absorb life and bliss
And all I did was counting the hours 'till night to come
and think of the day before, we weren't apart
