another sad comment on a broken relationship, even before one has a chance to tell his/her story; very distressing. But life is often like that. Sh-t happens when you least expect it. nice poem , and I love the concise, meaningful style.

Your welcome!
I think men (and women) who've "read" extensively know something others don't just from the cover. I think all those experiences, stored as cues, inform the mature reader and save time. Much substance in a few words, J.

true there are signals we can decipher...thank you, R.E.

Over before it started....sad, but perhaps a blessing. If someone leaves before "reading" the whole story, perhaps they should not be in your life. Good one. Lydi***

Cover blurb written on a book of empty pages.
Sad or merciful? You'll, probably, never know.
We, humans, know beginnings and endings--rarely, the significance
of our life stories.
Great bit of poetry!

yes, these days the journey seems to be the meaningless part...only the results matter.

Be nice in one way, if we could take a peek at the last couple of pages of a relationship before we buy the 'book.' Then again, I personally prefer 'whodunnits,' warts and all. Far more interesting are they not than your average and rather predictable Mills and Boon bodice ripper. :))

A premonition maybe that it was all over before it even got started. That might have been a lost opportunity. Gone forever. I am thinking here, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

thank you for your visit and words,

At least the attachment wasn't as great as it might have been! It was good the speaker was paying attention to the prelude!

The prelude precluded any further development in the story. Maybe the prelude was the story, fatal and brief. The aftermath seems to say it all.
