Overstayed Welcome.

Foolish actions claim the day...

mistakes that can't be 

swept away.

Best intentions fallen short,

wish I'd given this more

thought.

How I rue the words I spoke,

and so upon them I now 

choke.

The days crawl past and drag

me under, make me wonder

will it ever end?

I need my space I cannot

breath

How I wish that you

would leave!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A former family member needed somewhere to stay for a couple of months, it's been nearly a year! and still no sign of them

moving on!

A couple of months is way too

A couple of months is way too long. A fortnight can be hell and that half of half as long... we try to farm ourselves out every several days to make it easier for all concerned, whether staying over or hosting. Most people nowadays don't have the stomach or the roots for longer stays anyways. But that's just me. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad it's not just me who finds it difficult to share their home.
