Which man or woman hasn't been dumped
like a pile of garbage in a slump
It comes as a surprise; but, if we are honest -
we saw it coming, - just that -
with anything in life -
Denial rushes in ! - Full Force! -
to block the tunnel ("vision")
Hurt, bruised, mouth agape with speech-less fright
I'm loosing my soul-mate !
Oh my, what a night
Years were spent building this Fort
of love, trust, tears of delight
Then; as you look on...
the walls of your Fort come tumbling down!
Crying, mourning, bent, broken, your ears are ringing
with the sounds of those words you dread hearing!
"Babes, I'm moving on; It's not you; It's me;
You a good person - BUT " !
In tears of turmoil and inner rage
hanging on to your dignity becomes a chore
You pick your lips up off the floor
brace your feet
dry your tears -
cry no more
Accept their denial of your hard, founding love
Open the door - let them go ...
grieve, loose confidence, get depressed -
Because you loved them so ...
Deep poetry from tidbits of my life
