Hauntingly familiar. Great write. IGNORE THE TRIGGER. Forgiveness and acceptance play its part.

Everyone has at least one of these a person or memory that loiters at the back of the mind, waiting for its not moment to eat again, a great write

Whether a person or a thought there are memories that return to feed off a corpse from the past. There are no defenses that can be erected to continually divert such scavengers that when least suspecting momentarily snatch a bit of stolen past carrion. Loved it a fave

There are people we can\'t get rid of because they live in our mind. The ones we want to avoid keep coming back to us in the form of memories.

Better Than Love

Whatever you get from people is not totally free. There are always some expectations, at least some hope that you will scratch their back later. The shower asks nothing in return. It will keep working as long as water comes...

Better Than Love
Cheeky Missy said:
The old urging of a cuppa tea also does something. Yes, the exquisite pain of unyielding reality is more than we can bear, but there are a couple things which can help make it seem... what? Gorgeously rendered as you so excellently do, with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy. Somehow when you write I\'m there, in the moment. Thank you so much for sharing.

A Lovely write highlighting what important to keep and we have to let go, however difficult that might be. Something\'s we hang onto can be our downfall, nicely expressed and written

Still Here
Cheeky Missy said:
You have a way of getting under my skin as it were, while letting me feel the exquisite pain of unrequited love and affection until I want to comfort you instinctively, though you\'re not asking. Very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a winsome poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

A poem of love that recognizes that space is needed and that too much wood on the fire smothers the flame. Very nice

I wanted to tell you that you made me want to weep for the pain you\'ve suffered, as if thereby I could somehow solace you. Very beautifully rendered and exquisite with gorgeous imagery and a heartwrenching poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Some really great lines in this poem. (Love is a joke with sharp teeth.) Although it is hard to be used it not only teaches a lesson but but gives comfort in that the thief becomes the looser for every edifice is built upon a foundation and when that is taken away the building falls. Lovely poem

Parting words that sound somewhat dark. Well rhymed and written this piece speaks as if from the grave.

A beautiful poem, brimful of wisdom. A problem shared is certainly a problem halved and laughter shared is priceless. Have a happy Thursday. Pleased I stopped by today.

A beautiful writing .. nicely expressed with some lovely words .. like the way you talk of light and the rhyming . I liked reading this .. I think sometimes we can worry that we are a burden if we talk of our feelings or express our emotions but that’s not true .. we are just struggling and true there are those who care
