Your last words

I had to get something off my chest. So just wrote my thoughts down in 5 mins

Staying in touch as friends
After touching as lovers
Threw me into an emotional spiral
Shredding my already broken heart
Leaving me numb to the world

Trying to climb back up
I beg for your guidance
To help me understand with your rational mind
For even without heart
I hurt with love for you

Black and white
Determined as you are
You distance yourself
Still calling me friend
But acting like foe

Unable to believe
Maybe blind
I still reach out to you
Looking for compassion
Trusting our connection, our bond

Only to find out
That your ego took over
Giving me the final push
Drowning my memories
with your final words,
"You were a mistake".

Hard to be friends after being lovers.
"Staying in touch as friends
After touching as lovers
Threw me into an emotional spiral
Shredding my already broken heart
Leaving me numb to the world "
The above lines are the emotion train wreck we shall know, if we are close to someone we have know intimately. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

ooo this one's sad. last line felt like a bullet. but nicely penned for a 5-minute poem!! you're a natural, Scrap!

[Scrap]

Thanks Woody. That's how it felt...like a bullet.
It was someone i was close to, opened my heart to...nothing physical though.

[Scrap]

Btw...most of my writes are done within 5-10 mins. Too impulsive and impatient.

[Woody]

that's good, though. as I said, you're a natural :)

[Scrap]

I should add natural woman to my profile. Haha

Thx Woody

if someone says you were a mistake...that is not being a friend...that is distance.

my ex girlfriend simply does not stay friends with exes...i would have liked to have her still as a friend, but haven't pursued it...it was a mutual break up because of distance...too bad...works out that way.

compassion makes for friendship...my second ex wife and i are still very close...and i am so happy for that.

Thank you for Reading and sharing.
I had to learn the hard way. Still in disbelief.
