Georgia H
Georgia writes about matters of the heart with great maturity.
An empty room for an empty mind and an empty heart. This room is a metaphor for the space I’m in this moment: empty, blank. The boxes stacked neatly into a fort in the corner are symbolic of the way my thoughts and memories of him are tightly packed away.
This room is the diving block into my new life; a life without him. Tears spring to my already damp eyes when I remember the flat. A place of no real significance yet one so full of happy times; times I want to go back to. The flat was dull, drab and in need of a serious renovation – but I didn’t care. Apartment 14, No. 33 Lachrymose Lane was my home. My place with him.
Life was bumbling along smoothly, save for a few minor potholes along the way. The sunrise brought with it the joy of another day until cancer took that sunshine away and put fog and gloom in its place. Since then, since cancer claimed the biggest part of my life, I have let my friends float away, rejected any offer of company and, thought by thought, packed my memories into the tight drawers at the very boundaries of my mind, somewhere the tendrils of longing will not reach them.
