What Matters Most

Neville

What Matters Most

 

It does not really matter

how

You choose to ignore him

now

Neither when, or how or

where

What really matters most

is surely

That you know

he’s somewhere near

And the very

simple fact, despite yourself

it seems,

You really do, still care …… x

    Why?

    though I did enjoy the poem

    • Neville



      Bless ya and big time my friend 🙂

    • Fay Slimm.

      Filled with care this write sounds to my mind like good parental advice to a youngster who chooses to end a relationship but then despite all odds is apt to change mind mid-way between today and tomorrow - - - -- scribed with your usual skilled attention to word and line-length it becomes so beguiling that I always want to know a little bit extra.............x

      • Neville



        spot on maybe Fay .. well as near as near can be ............. and bless you for noticing earlier what I initially failed to ..... can't thank you enough for that .. nuff sed 🙂 xx

      • Accidental Poet

        Relationships are rarely so perfect that doubt doesn't come into play at some point especially for the young at heart. But like Fay mentioned, a change of heart is always possible. Awesome write N. ; )

          Relationship sans communication -
          Crappy causation
          Ain’t no privation –
          Onward to salvation…

          • Neville



            ............. thanks Dave 🙂

            • Doggerel Dave

                  Hello Steven .. I gather they have either scrapped the section, or given you ground parole .. Nice to see you and I won't say a word 🙂

                  Neville,

                  Yes I do know
                  ‘he’s somewhere near’…
                  and ‘despite’ myself,
                  I ‘really do, still care…’

                  No matter how much time has passed and whatever has happened in the past, a special love will always be there never to be forgotten.

                  Thank you for sharing your penned thoughts.

                  Laura🌻


                  • Neville

                  • L. B. Mek

                    sometimes, we all need a friend
                    to whisper this hard truth's to us
                    for, if let to our own devices
                    we would neve claim, or accept
                    such a vulnerable state, instead
                    we would just withdraw, into ourselves
                    even more and refute, that needling thought
                    asking, maybe:
                    'What really matters most
                    is surely
                    That you know
                    *they're somewhere near
                    And the very
                    simple fact, despite yourself
                    it seems,
                    You really do, still care …… x'
                    (just another subtle gem of a write, my friend
                    again, wonderfully paced and effortlessly worded
                    so instinctively relatable)

                    • Neville



                      .. Take it from me, thanking you L.B is always so much a bloomin pleasure sir 🙂

                    • myself and me

                      A simple fact never seems so simple.

                      • Neville



                        simple as that ............ cheers M & M 🙂
