Sworn off love

Overwhelmed distressed exposing my cynical heart, splintered dreams a la carte.

Yes I'm swearing off love for the very last time, “you can kiss my a*s” a victimless crime.

Emotionally frozen a dilapidated will, each day that passes I resemble road kill.

Do we all not struggle with bouts of depression, as well as abusing our own transgression?

Solitude is such a bitter pill to swallow, when you're half of a whole, that becomes completely hollow.

Your analysis is very perceptive, and brutally concise. I applaud you for the "a*s whooping" given in poetical form!

great poem -with the perfect amount of distain and a slow build.

[Dream Weaver]

Thank you Cherrie, and all this time I thought you were holding on to my hat for me :)

Indeed, a traumatic event such as a relationship breakup etc can and often does induce some kind of mental breakdown, and a personality may transgress or regress into some lonely place !

Another finely penned, emotionally themed character analysis!

[Dream Weaver]

Again many thanks Tom...much appreciated my friend.

This piece is legit and hits close to home. Nicely penned and sometimes what we think we're supposed to have is just not achievable when you have to depend on someone else to give it to you.

[Dream Weaver]

Thanks my friend for the kind review it's very much appreciated...and I agree with you on "depending on someone else to give it to you is a lost cause.

I think you did a phenomenal job with your first two and last two stanzas. However, I could have done without the middle stanza which strikes me as forced and doesn't seem to flow naturally with the rest of your work. Great job overall, very emotionally compelling!

Thank you for at least being honest Virdie, I appreciate your review...again thank you.
