It's such a bittersweet dilemma
That I refuse to learn from
Is it her I seek?
Or the exquisite pain of what ifs?

What if? the most difficult question in our lives SC.
Andy
Or the most addictive
A fine write SC.
A dilemma indeed but I learned the hard way to just move on. The what if's were the things which didn't happen.
Great concise piece to wake up a contrary old beast like me.
Very thought provoking Sax. Straight to my favs. 👍
so true,
when we trip or buckle
we seldom have time
to look, at the root cause
of our demise
rather, we hurry to limit our fall
and rush to resume
our blind leap, to that same
aspirational trap
of belatedly realised, conformity...
an intriguing read
like the 'her', adds a meaningful twist
thanks for sharing, dear poet
It is always the her you seek but why the dilemma?
Is it her or the idea of her? There in lies the dilemma. So is the subject looking for reality or the dream? Is he refusing to learn because he doesn't want to know because the feeling is addictive
You say much in this short verse. "What ifs" indeed. Brilliant!
