A Long Pretence

Sshh .. it happens, but let's keep it to ourselves ................................

A Long Pretence

 

After all this time,

it has

only just dawned

on me

I was never really

any different

from all the rest

was I, after all ..

And now,

of course, there is

no us ..

Not barely a trace

Nor is there

any point or use in

either of us

pretending otherwise,

is there darling .. x

Thinking you are just another in a long line of goodbyes, isn't exactly an endearing place to be. Most people would like to feel that they were special, so I can understand the hurt in this piece. Not easy going from an us situation to just a me. Direct and poignant in its expression is this piece Neville.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the honeymoon is over. There is both anger and sadness in these words, because now something special is beyond retrieving.

You are of course write sir John .. it sure helps in the making of these scribbles though, or at least some of them if one has a reasonable imagination .. Ha, I once wrote about being a serial killer & started to get tons of fan mail because folk thought I might be one .. I still chuckle about that to this day ... as if eh' .... Cheers mate, take care out there ..................... Neville :)
