Like I'm Unfaithful

... a sonnet on it ...

I feel almost

Unfaithful

When I don't

Write for you

Like I used to

As my words

Seldom shine

Until I do

And I think

You know that's true

I feel like I'm

Unfaithful

When I don't

Write for you

It is so easy to feel guilty when we don't write for those whom we love and to feel a sense of being unfaithful in not doing so. You have captured that superbly in so few words in this sublimely penned poem, Jim. Lovely work! Thank you for sharing...

Oh my, Jim.
Never thought of that....I often write for exes or ex girlfriends or those who have passed away.
But when I don't or write for others...maybe I should feel shame.

Thank you. I have written to so many exes and ghost myself ... this particular friend has been part of the poetic experience for me for 15 plus years. ~Jim
