this is unusually good but not at all unusual .. and I don't mean that you just wrote a bloomin good bit o poetry .. its good to talk and from both a personal and professional perspective, I am acutely aware that so many problems start from the moment a silence is first conceived .....................

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 :)
What this means to me is that a breakup is never really gotten over. The scar is there, and when that text message comes, we are made conscious of it. An invisible hand moves over the invisible scar on the heart and sighs. If that love was strong enough - dangerously strong - the speaker would perhaps consider replying even though it could mean another disillusionment. I think about such situations daily, so I can relate.

A haunting piece that had me wanting to know more about what caused this sadness. Though it probably is best to be left unsaid and wander in our minds. A wonderful poem Chris thank you for sharing.

dear Chris... your poem is so soft and emotional...
there are many stories to be told... and a breeze in a tree
can be a reminder. Finding Peace is usually under the shade
of a Tree. I wish I were more Noble; but at least... I can now
feel God's Grace in Nature. truly, Pat

Ah yes. There are always those who appear after you almost forgot what a bad decision that was. Your poem lets this unfold naturally & understandably. It has been my experience that it's always a bad idea to go back when these summons arrive (((HUGS)))

Thank you Margie for sharing and for stopping by. You are appreciated.
Hi Chris, Curious, I looked up "Chablis" for a description ... dry and sharp.
...just like his note, and I Imagine just like him, and I don't mean Sharp as Smart.
Choosing to Ignore in such a situation takes Strength, I hope you felt a tearful sense of appropriate pride in yourself and your choice :)

Sometimes it's best to not answering any such text....when you know the outcome is zero or it will take you to that uncomfortable past once again.You know yourself best and thus you moved on ...no need to look back!
Very Nicely penned....

this sounds like a romance gone adrift
Too often it does bring at least one tear
