All the Words He Left Trapped in Her Throat

Neville

All the Words He Left Trapped in Her Throat

 

Listen, these words were meant

only to be whispered ..

But their inevitable sigh was

followed by a moan

and then, by a single silent scream ..

Which incidentally

occurred the moment he became

blind to those words

he left trapped in the depths

of her throat

and his eventual, hasty departure ..

    A haunt of a read which describes so aptly a runaway guy blind to his actions..............x

    • Neville



      that is precisely wot I wanted to hear .. ta Fay n truly ........ Neville x

    • L. B. Mek

      ha! that's crazy
      how our offerings sync-up
      in theme, so often
      Hyung..
      'our callous indifference
      in the choices we make'...
      plus
      this subtly, inconsequential
      (at initial appearance)
      poem
      is one of your deepest write's
      'in my humble opinion'..
      (when we leave
      and they're left, to choke
      on the unsaid
      we left in place, untouched
      when at a fingertips
      distance, choosing to ignore
      that opportunity
      to salvage their shattered, hopes
      from evolving, in-to
      a decimated heart's, irreversible
      scar
      are we, selfish perpetrators
      or merely: survivors
      escaping from that inevitable
      tertiary blast
      of a broken romance's, consequences...?)
      sorry
      if I read your poetry differently
      than your intent, dear Poet

        I know we kind of all too often abuse and misuse the word love .. but I love it sir Mek .. thank you N

        • L. B. Mek

          oh I'm so weary of 'that' word now
          every time I feel like using it
          I internally cringe, and it's
          that learnt behaviour, doubling-up
          as saying it
          so often, is something we pick-up
          (we, the lucky ones
          that have the word in our lives)
          and then simultaneously
          becoming aware of its, lessening
          significance due to over use
          (or misplaced use, to be acute)
          is also a social nuance
          we interpret as our own volition
          or opinion..
          I see a future, where people
          have to ration their use
          of the word love, lest they be taxed
          or fined...
          lol

          Haunting, which leaves me to wonder, what did she say? Well, Bullet, you've gone and done it again----excellent write!!!

          • Neville



            its a secret but she asked me to say thank you on her behalf .... so thank you on her behalf ...... N ๐Ÿ™‚

          • Accidental Poet

            She was just about to say, "I love you", but he was too afraid that those would not be the words she would say.

            • Neville



              you never know you may be write but just like a gentleman, a would be poet never tells .. he does always say thank you though ... thank you though ๐Ÿ™‚

              • Accidental Poet

                thank you though ๐Ÿ˜‰

                Funny how one small moment in time, when actions speak louder than words, can change the trajectory of a developing relationship. When heartfelt sentiment shows the truth, words unheard must remain thus.
                Human nature is one of poetry's greatest subjects and carries with it the danger for the poet offending readers. Such is the fallibility of mankind.
                Your poem is direct in painting the scene, with the reader judging on their own the value of its portrayal. I personally felt you hit the nail on the head. The un-described characters in your poem are there only to bring out the message. The scene is humanity at its nadir and ends as it should with exposure of his failings. A very intense and forthright portrayal of humankind. Loved it - Phil A.

                  You sir are very astute ....................................... but then, what's new .. thank you Phil

                • Rozina

                  Wonder what she was going to say? What could she have said that would make you stay? Just curious as usual! A great write.

                  • Neville



                    I guess if it made you wonder, it worked .. thank you for the reassurance Roz ..

                      A Whisper, a scream muffled no doubt by tears, โ€œFrankly Scarlet, I donโ€™t give a damnโ€

                      • Neville

                      • SureshG

                        It is undoubtedly an act, committed in the heat of passion, for what else may I conclude from these passionate words

                        • Neville



                          I reckon you might just be write Suresh but thank you regardless my friend ....... Neville ๐Ÿ™‚
