Upon Those Words She Chose to Leave Behind
I did not
merely stumble blindly
upon
those words
she left behind in such
exquisite
and likewise,
well-rehearsed disarray ..
And nor
did I by any chance,
as you might well imagine,
upon her sudden,
unscheduled departure ..
Since we
both knew I would,
one day return,
to firstly kneel and then,
lay prone
beside them all ..
While quaffing each
last drop of them and so
very deeply ..
For it is there
I shall remain, till done ..
And thus,
my final abreaction is both
quietly and so
very solemnly completed ..
Indeed then, and only then
dare I squeeze
that last drop of the poison in ..

Words can surely hurt dear Nev. Sometimes stay inside us for a very long time, until they no longer ring in our ears. 💖
while sticks and stones may break my bones .. but tis words are left to haunt me .. & most graciously received they sometimes be .. bless you Teddy .. ❤️
❤️ I only ever listen to the nice ones.
Wow!!! A little dark Neville! I love it! And, so true....some words can cut your heart, leaving you bleeding all over the place!! Can make the strongest person bend! That damn poison! 💜
there is a light at the end of every one of my tunnels .. but I allow only my friends to see it my friend .. thanks for stopping by .. Neville 💜
My goodness golly gosh they must've solved it for you above (if indeed there were anything needed to be solved or for that matter resolved), The freedom which must now cloak your shoulders in lieu of the abreactive state which lead to this confession.... ist gut? (don't push it, pal - I don't speak no uther lingo but Anglo sort of...)....
You are getting better tho bro .. ta for taking the time to consider my little scribble .. I hope you found the experience cathartic .. Neville
Sounds like the final conquest of them all, "While quaffing each last drop of them," " I squeeze that last drop of poison in." Vengeance is sweet. Is there anything to be gained by this action or is it just a craving? A dark tale of desired retribution. - Phil A.
Now that would be telling .. and of course, a gentleman neva tells .. Does one .. Cheers Phil
Words can be so decimating to one's mind Neville and can be forever with us, I hope they do not stay.

This is PG Wodehouse's
flamboyance of words
at its finest
love the exoticism in your wording, Hyung
sometimes this scribbling thing
needs to be fun
or else why labour
you pose a good question .. and I may have an answer .. because it's there, somewhere inside, desperate to get out .. and because we can .. and now once again I am fully indulged, I thank you my friend .. Neville
'because it's there, somewhere inside,
desperate to get out'
Amen!
A take a deep conscious that deals with a choice that maybe was absolute. ??
very nearly absolutely sir .. cheers n all that jazz .. N
