Untitled #2

Neville

Untitled #2

 

In less time than it took him

to process

that one last onslaught ..

And the content of her insult

She was swiftly consigned to

the waste-bin

and hence to history ..

Where,

without even a shelf to sit on

She was deemed unworthy

of memory, shame or guilt even ..

      Aww, why he chuck her in the bin?! He could send her to me - to recycle? Call the poem 'Recycling Rita' or summat like that.
      Any more info on this from me might be swoony. lol.

        How come Fido let you get away with proposing a title like that .. 🙂

        'without even a shelf to sit on
        She was deemed unworthy'..
        Oft, passion is deemed a quality
        yet
        in that moment, of blinding pain
        we
        far too often, choose to abuse our cherished
        weaponising
        that same passion, into a reactionary tool
        designed
        to inflict, such disproportionate levels of heartless
        suffering...
        (mirror, is a little harder - to look in-to
        those, morning after's
        still, fallible as we are - our conscious
        if allowed to, can guide us back
        to a realm, where forgiveness
        is no longer, such an impossible
        dream...)

          I take it that might be a yes then .............................. he never bears grudges, not in the real world anyway .. N

          Lol at shame or guilt memories.... no such thing, just another few footsteps of the learning stroll through life. The contents of that wastebin serve to thicken the walking boot soles of life's journeyman.

            You got it DA ....................................... thanks ever so 🙂

          • Lorna

            Phew - this was tough on her.... I would have been on the shelf a few times if my husband hadn't been so forgiving. But you got it down to a tee!

            • Neville

              • Lorna

                THAT is why I prefer this online back and forth to real life......

                There comes a time when either gender is tested too much my friend - I guess then appears an untitled and flagrant dismissal which I understand - the She in the waste bin needs to see insults don't always bring hasty answers by pacification to most often planned manipulation - - Oooh now look what this read has brought out in me.......... x

                • Neville



                  I am mightily impressed ......... and wish to hereby thank thee for that mighty fine address 🙂 x

                  • Fay Slimm.

                  • myself and me

                            So true in some cases Neville, some people do not deserve a second thought.
