I came across two toothbrushes today.
Barely used.
Former lovers left them behind.
I held each one for a moment.
As though, for a moment, I held them again.
It took great strength to throw them away.
If I ever see them again, they certainly won't be brushing their teeth.
Or spending the night.
About Me
- Gabrielle
- I was the eccentric girl with cats -- well on my way to turning into the crazy cat lady! But then my knight finally showed up, a bit worse for wear. I remember everything and nothing. I laugh out loud at the jokes in my head. I sing along with the overhead music at stores - even when there are other customers around to hear. I call everyone honey or sweetie or dear. I have a southern accent that crops up from time to time. I dance to the music on the radio while driving. I'll wear all black one day then the next wear a white tank top and a peasant skirt. I've dyed my hair purple, blue, black... And sometimes I just don't know what I'm thinking until I try to say it out loud.
