Ironically

I always found it funny,

 

How your arms were always

The safest place that I knew,

And how those very same

Arms so easily ripped

My heart in two.

 

But I never laughed.

Author's Note

Been thinking about how ironic love can be.

Love can be such a good thing yet such a terrible thing. I love the title! It reminds me of an Alanis Morisette song, called "Ironic" haha.

I don't think I've heard of it, before. Hmm... I'll have to give it a looksie!

[N!LoC]

how exactly did those arms rip your heart in 2 ???

[The Nude Writer]

Very good point. The same hands that heal can hurt.

[WhiteWillow]

I love the way your first and last lines encapsulate the body of the prose. A beautifully written piece.

I like the word. "Ironically". You are right. Funny how things can change with people we open doors for and are closed. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

It really is... :(

[devon]

I'm sorry, darling. Just know it's ironic, but not always in a way that causes you to wince. It can make you smile.

[Aly Jones]

Yeah, it does. :) There are good memories, and it sucks when they're over.

[devon]

I know. But there will be tons more of good memories to come!

[Aly Jones]
