The sun is only moments away from hiding
The air has turned chilly
The moon is yet make her great big entrance
The windows and doors to the house are all colsed but i still feel cold and empty
Even though there is a pair of twins singing and dancing right above my head
The family  dog circles me for the 10th time without a care in the world
I should be setting the table for supper but my broken thoughts turn to him
I have not seen him in weeks nor heard anything from him
We had a disagreement and he left seconds later
I was not worried
But I was foolish to think that everything would be ok in a few hours and he would come home with treats for the girls and the opportunity for me to apologize
He never came home
I didnt sleep at all that night
Fed the girls a lie and send them to bed wih full tummies and confusion in their hearts
I wake up with my apology speech memorized every single morning and always dress up
In case there is a knock at the door
I practically know what I am going to say and cringe at the though of slipping into another corset
I am hoping he will show
Tonight of all nights at least
The girls fear the worst the bed is starting to feel like a grave.
