When All Said and Done itโ€™s All Over

Neville

When All Said and Done it’s All Over

 

I regret

to inform you

I am no

longer the man

you once

wanted or loved

am I darling ..

I don’t

have a clue

what happened

to us,

or for that matter

to me ..

It just seemed to

happen

and came out of

the blue ..

Like a stab in the

back and

a kidney punch,

all rolled into one ..

                It can end as starkly as you have described it. I recall two acquaintances who simply went home to an empty house., completely empty, everything was gone not even a bed to sleep on. In your poem the pain of loss is transposed into physical pain, "stab and a kidney punch." This conveys the pain nicely. I also noticed the tongue-in- cheek of " I regret to inform you"... clever. "All said and done," a most intriguing poem. - Phil A.

                  that's about as perfect as it can possibly get .. cheers Phil ๐Ÿ‘

                  Love lost can feel like an expected and unexpected โ€˜stab and kidney punchโ€™ in one-to love and loss, I salute!

                  • Neville



                    I am indeed most humbled and I thank you so very much ma'am .. Neville

                    its always heartbreakingly morose
                    when the most certain pillar in our life
                    crumbles, before our eyes
                    in that image, we witness a loss
                    we can never replace...
                    but
                    that's why, we can never take love for granted
                    I like the song
                    'I'm going to love you
                    like
                    I'm going to lose you'
                    because it love's truth
                    distilled
                    it's too late to wonder why, after
                    it's our now that matters
                    giving it all, in our very day
                    every conversation
                    every embrace and kiss
                    leaving nothing to chance
                    loving, in a way that will insure
                    come what may, we will have
                    no regrets..
                    (I assume this was inspired
                    by patients or other external influences
                    so i won't worry for you, Hyung)
                    a Great write!

                  • Neville



                    External influences infiltrated my pen .. thanks again my friend ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘
