The Ache and The Pull of It

The Ache and The Pull of It

 

To be honest and fair,

I imagine,

I probably feel much

the same way

as any other old fella

might feel,

under the impossible

circumstances,

of your most recent

   ultimatum ..

Okay, in a single word,

   I feel SCARED ..

   But for you my love ..

I shall always

deny the lure, the ache

   and the pull of it ..

Whilst also, avoiding

and at all costs,

the acute and likewise

compelling

cravings and of course

the draw of

me trying to fill another

blank page,

   

   with her name written on it ..

...had to go back to a week-yesterday for this one, Nev. It was worth it!
Tall and True, a poetisized story, complete with hook, line-to-line compulsion, superbly surprising ending!
Yes, SHE, menacingly capable of spurring our every thought and move, and WE, valiantly fighting, dare I say it, the Urge! 😧😉

Sounds like her or me time. Denying "the ache and the pull of it" seems to me to be the best survival strategy.

Ultimatums suck they can lead to trouble. Words that stuck as I read this piece, impossible circumstances and SCARED in capital letters. As Ana has already said s**t makes good poetry Neville.
