Liking this N and not an e\'ermore in sight! It\'s \'alway\' that\'s a problem. Don\'t publishers realise it\'s poetic, and that poetry is, erm, poetic?! It does not always have to be \'always\'.
End of waffle or guff, or rabbiting on!

The read of your poetic posting today hits a valuable truth my friend. - - Realizing the desperate need for attention in another and giving it willingly heals in measures we know little about and is a sign of true understanding in any relationship. The depth your expertise reaches in this verse Nev is outstanding and the piece is now in my list of favourites ........x

Just Another Shot in The Dark
L. B. Mek said:

for me, Hyung
the saddest part
is the betrayal that lingers
long after the traumas has been overcome bravely,
that\'s what makes it so hard to trust again
because we all judge the threat levels we encounter
but when we choose to entrust our safety
to another we deem, worthy
and that\'s taken advantage of
so mercilessly
for merely seconds of depraved gratification...
it breaks our capacity to trust
those we may deem, as safe in the future
and poisons our connections with people irreversibly...
and perpetrators barely get years as sentence for such crimes
while survivors spend a lifetime dealing with it
🤬🤬🤬
(and we say \'stay safe, be aware\'
but of who, strangers?
when its the people around us
that usually plot or opportunistically
act out such despicable acts)
this is why I can never do your profession
the empath in me will end-up a vigilante mass murderer

That Last Time Look
L. B. Mek said:

(breakup\'s need to be confronted
while wearing bullet proof jackets
just like, setting sail comes with life jacket access
for those left behind...)
yeah, been there got the t-shirt
n try as I might, years later
I can\'t get that regret to wash out...
thank you! Hyung
for me this was somewhat therapeutic to read
and respond to

Just Another Shot in The Dark
Aradhya said:

I found this so very hauntingly beautiful. A bit intriguing too as the safe haven is dark, as mostly such a place is associated with light and brightness. Darkness gives the feeling of uncertainty, unknownness, and a racing heart(just my thoughts), which makes your words all the more interesting. And the repetition makes the feelings of grief more poignant. Sometimes darkness is far more peaceful and healing than a brilliant hues of light. Perhaps the darkness is because of being afraid of reality?
Anyways, this felt very sincere to me and I absolutely loved it!
