PIECES

WHEN SHE SAID, "NO MORE"

I didn't see that coming.
I didn't understand what no more meant.
I had always been a straight shooter.
Told her what I wanted
Told her how I felt.
Now my soul was in limbo
Trying to grasp a concept so simple
No more!
No more of what?
The time, or the lack of time together?
The games, or the lack of games together?
Maybe I saw it coming and ignored it.
Maybe I ignored it because I was fed up.
Maybe I wanted "no more".
No more of those memories.
No more of the pain.
No more of the things we loved to do over and over again.
She said no more and it was no more.
The words so powerful and strong.
Forever echoing in my ears and growing in my heart.
No more!!!.
No more of this, no more of that.
"No more hiding my food Nana, no more"
She was clear, and I had lost.
Although I found the best hiding place,
it wasn't the best way to find out how much food was her bae
