Ripped apart

Frantically cleaning up the sawdust

from the spinning blade

cutting through my emotions,

a thin clean line

directly between me and you

 

And sweep as I might,

I still can not get all that

remains in the corners

of my heart -

and probably never will

Yep … I get this. The trick … leave the damp dusty corners to the spiders and dust and go outside:) Love this, my friend.

Thank you so very much Pryde. I am happy you enjoyed this one.

The analogy of the sawdust is perfect. Sawdust is a b***h. It can stay there for years.

Thanks so much. It is definitely a b***h to clean up. There is always that line on the floor at the edge of the dustpan that just drives me crazy.

Aww, it's hard. You can't fully and completely remove someone from your heart.
Would you like to borrow my dust buster? :) chin up cutie pie.

Sure, does it have the heart corner attachment? Thank you so much Ana.

Haha! Thing cost me a fortune, it should do the trick.
But like I said, past loves sometimes linger, always a speck of love dust left behind.
That's not necessarily a bad thing though, it's 'human'.
