In The Blink Of An Eye(Of A Hurricane)

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

Trust takes eons to build

but can be destroyed

in one moment

like a straw hut in a hurricane

and there is no shelter

that can drown out the pain.

Feelings are fragile

as a crystal vase

that can turn to a stone

when lost at see,

taking forever to be recovered

like a sunken treasure chest.

Choices are a part of life

and human error is inevitable,

it is the ones you make on purpose

that will bite you till you bleed to death.

Painful truth. I've made this error myself more than once, and I know, it can be deadly.

Yes very painful and it can be emotionally deadly.
i don't think there is anything as painful as a choice of words
that wounds another and yourself in the process. very insightful.
wonderful writing.

Thank you so much for your review and input... always appreciated.
This is so true.. I think as human's we can make error's but it's how we deal with it that counts.. Some deal with it with dignity and some lash out.. The last line you wrote is strong and divine .. "Choices are a part of life
and human error is inevitable,
it is the ones you make on purpose
that will bite you till you bleed to death."

Oh my - Can you see into my heart right now? WOW, you said it so true and right! Humans errors are a part of life, but we all make choices and those choices come with consequences. No matter how sorry, once that trust is broken, as you said feelings are so fragile. And YES, can turn to stone! I love this, needed to read it, needed to know that someone out there, feels this too. Thank you!

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
