The Great Expectation.
When you left, and I saw you leave, I had no clue that i would react that way.
Had no clue that I would feel anything at all
much less that.
That pain.
I was not expecting that.
That loss.
That I did not expect.
That emptiness.
That I did not see coming.
That loss.
That I did not see forming.
The absence of you affecting me in ways I did not foresee .
Affecting me at all.
Much less affecting me.
Affecting me at large,
much less affecting me at bay.
When I saw you go,
when I saw disappear become your face,
erased.
The effect I did not expect.
a slap in the face i did not expect.
an ache unexpected.
a beat un-predicted
a missed heart beat interpreted.
a lump in my throat.
Choke.
To Be Con’t.
