A Long Pretence

Neville

A Long Pretence

 

After all this time,

it has

only just dawned

on me

I was never really

any different

from all the rest

was I, after all ..

And now,

of course, there is

no us ..

Not barely a trace

Nor is there

any point or use in

either of us

pretending otherwise,

is there darling .. x

    Sadly, some women judge a guy on the last guy, and so it goes on.
    At some point in time, the penny drops, and you'll be off with Sally.

        Sad thought but time to call it a day when there is not even a trace of the feeling of Us - -- pretence starts to hurt when playing dead roles. Marvelous use of few -worded lines again mi clever amigo........ x and x

                  Happens to us all sometime, I think Nev. Remember the fleeting, oh so very fleeting good moments and enjoy that walk with your hound. Best wishes.

                  • Neville

                    • spilleronsheet

                      A sad poetic ode of heart singing melancholy
                      I hope it’s just words
                      Not true, but if it is, good time shall be soon coming around with a beautiful maiden wrapped around…

                      • Neville



                        rest assured spills, I have lavished a whole container load of poetic license .. although, I was there once ......... I have no objection to you sending a maiden around tho' πŸ™‚

                        • spilleronsheet

                          Lol
                          No thanks dear Neville

                        • Christina8

                          Brilliant writing as always but I think we have all felt this way with someone possibly when we were younger. Love this!

                          • Neville



                            Aww, you are way too kind Cristina8 .. it is so good to see you are back .. I sure hope you are gonna stay around MPS I am sure others beside myself have missed you πŸ™‚

                            • Christina8

                              That I am not so sure of but I will post a poem late in the day and give it a try!

                              • Neville
