To Steal a Line From Another

And then it was lost
maybe not forever
and not at all for the good
but this must be the cost
of seeing brighter weather
and being happy as we should
and, to steal a line from another,
"good-bye, my almost lover."

Reviews

[Taste of Ink]

I love this! Short and sweet and flows really nicely. Great job!

[Sarah Jaymes]

Worded perfectly and it has a natural flow. The lines are very touching, simplicity is wonderful. All together as one big piece, heartbreaking.

I love the quote. Wonderful.

[Samuel Dickens]

A little slice of life. Not a very sweet slice, but a real one. My heart still aches and yearns ocassionally for one of those "almost lovers."

[Alicante lullaby]

brief...sharp.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

the concise form complements the subject matter~ very clever the last two lines~

[Emily B]

brevity is my favorite poetic tool
