As Yet Unforgiven

Neville

As Yet Unforgiven

 

A frown cast upon a mirror cracked

What’s done, is done

There can never be no looking back

    Two strong negatives make that final line unmissable Nev --- blame the cracked mirror - if you dare - - after reading this three-liner gem........x

      Really good use of the double negative in that last line. This piece wins for me in so many ways.
      Great mind-play you leave your reader with here too.
      Excellent writing Neville and a joy to read.

                      Sadly traumatic times for us - my wife's cancer has returned and we are waiting for her to commence chemotheraphy Hopefully, although not a cure, it will keep it under control but we'll know further in about 10 days time when she sees the consultant.

                      True Neville, we must always move on in our lives.

                        (sorry my friend, I just read your insightful shorty
                        and these words below exploded from somewhere
                        deep inside me, I didn't know existed
                        I can't thank you enough)..
                        its those repeated mistakes, we make
                        that perpetuate, our cycle of bad luck
                        to add to that hipping pile
                        of regretted: bad choices
                        that we can never forgive, and thus
                        we seldom acknowledge
                        yet perversely
                        hardly ever allow ourselves
                        to forget and shed, instead
                        carrying them
                        from one splintered reflection of self
                        to another, distorted mirrored impression
                        lost, endlessly dwelling
                        within that self loathing cocoon, blind
                        to all those fleeting possibilities
                        for healing and growth
                        we allow, to pass-us-by: frequently - wastefully..

                          ........ I spent my entire working life trying to get inside peoples heads .. and here, you seem to do it effortlessly ............................. thanks L.B ..
