Her Words Were Like Ivy

Her Words Were Like Ivy

Her words were like ivy

Cold clinging and uncaring

…

Many fell both to and from her

Corroded and self pitying life forms

…

Impossible to either loathe or love her

We are merely bookends on a shelf

.

Author's Note

Take my word for it, that is just the way it was

A distant relationship. It really doesn't matter if it was a relative, a spouse, a girlfriend, a co-worker, it works because everyone has had such experiences. Alone but together in a room where the uncomfortable fills the space between you.

As always, much appreciated... N
