It seems I have a propensity to keep my mouth shut when most women can't close theirs for love nor money :) I have to confess I have since spoken to the subject of this poem who was fortunate enough to be my first husband :)

I take it I can stand down then and a hit is no longer required :)

I think that pretty much says it all. They only want something when they do that, be it woman or man. The motive rader should go up in that kind of situation for anyone who is wise.
Nice one, Chris.

Thank you Tim. Sorry for my late acknowledgenent. All the best.
And this is why I don't keep my old number when I change phones. :) --- Seriously, this was a good solid poem with lots of past memories peeking out as it went skillfully along to its meaning. Well done.

You too have a wonderful weekend.

A stunning poem on a past love and its betrayal. A returning love is never a harbinger of good things. Dumped and betrayed sounds so cruel and crushing and yet to them it all appears to be so casual and fine. The concise dart was meant to mislead again and I'm glad the poet let it fall by the wayside. Beautifully written, dear Chris.

What a fabulous true life recollection Chris, beautifully penned and thought out.
How very relatable your well-chosen words are, how we feel the ache with you totally. An absolute Triumph again.
