Dead End Street

Dead End Street

 

 

you’d think by now

i would’ve learned

that every attempt

to forget you

has become

a dead end street.

Author's Note

Coming back from acute bronchitis. So good to be back in the company of friends!

Kelly!!!
There you are!!! I have missed you!
And this poem is why... So sharp, like the point of a stiletto. Every poem of the lovelorn usurped and replaced by six lines and nineteen words...
Okay, all you "Slit-your-wristers," give up now... it's been said, and better than you can, so find something real to write about!
(I don't think I've ever mentioned, but you have the best profile picture, ever.)

Memory can sometimes be cruel. There are so many things we wish to remember, but try as we may, we cannot. Unfortunately, some linger on and on and refuse to let us go. I wish, for you. that is not the case.
Take care - Dave

This was a lost love that actually died seven years ago. I have forgiven him for hurting me, but that old moon above me remembers all too well the cost I paid for a broken heart.

[Dave]

I'm sorry for your loss as well as your broken heart.
Take care - Dave

Kelly - I've been away for a while and this is the first I've heard of your illness. I pray that you are on the mend. Please feel better. - Dave

[Kelly Scheppers]

I appreciate your thoughts and concern. Thank you, Dave!

sounds like someone needs a new gps. not easy to let go. not sure which is harder to navigate - one ways or dead ends. both mean we're lost and going the wrong way. sharp and skillfully telling. it's not easy navigating the heart. ouch - sorry about your sickness - i know what that is like (the coughing). i've had bad lungs all my life - asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia. get well!

[Kelly Scheppers]

No matter how happy we are, I think some of us have a tendency to look back to the one that got away. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I do need a GPS! Thank you, Pete! Always a pleasure!

It happens. They go around the brain like a merry-go-round and no matter what you do you can't avoid thinking about them. I've been there. Glad you're feeling better.

I think we've all been there. And the hits just keep on coming. Thank you, Tim!
