but that is the most painful words to hear from a person you love.

simple yet brings back a thousand memories ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, those epiphanies that happen all too late...and we are already stuck in a misery we never asked for...or at least didn't think we did.

Your poem is about the size of a rock I found in front of my lake - but it reminds of something that has happened to me before and it made me laugh - thank you, Caradoc.

[Caradoc]

You're welcome. :)

[Shimmerbliss/CAF]

Perfectly stated! What a powerful, yet briefly written "aha" moment! Sadly, all too often, it is true.

[Caradoc]

A good friend keyed me on to the shorter writes. My poems are usually longer. Thank you for your review.

[Reclaimed]

If they would still talk to me; these are some of the things my former lady friends would probably say.

It's a nice little diddy. Authentic and relatable to good and horrible people alike.

[Caradoc]

Indeed. Thanks for your review.

[Reclaimed]

Eh.... Was it? I'm not so sure

[boblakin]

Shame most of us are better at hindsight, rather than foresight. Life would be boring though, wouldn't it.


boblakin.

[Caradoc]

Eh. Boring maybe, but perhaps less painful.

I had that moment a couple years before I got divorced. It is earth shattering, yet you say it so simply. Perhaps that is why we get along, in a poetic way...:)

[Caradoc]

Perhaps. lol I like to think it's because you're such a sassy cat. ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Aww you just made me purr a little ...

[Caradoc]

:) And I just now realized...my profile pic is of a wolf looking down, and yours is of a cat looking up. lol

[Lyn Anderson]

Except I bet your pet wolf doesn't sleep in your bed ...:)

[Caradoc]

Lol. No he doesn't.

some things are hard to let go of ..most of them unreal when love dreams are concerned .. better late than never says i! ;)
such a straight forward no nonsense bleeding of ones heart :(

Indeed. We build up an image of a person in our heads and fail to see the truth through our own crafted illusions.
