My Very Own Love Album

Teddy.15

 

I didn't think it was wrong of me

to have written an entire book

 of incredibly sad songs

whilst crying into my wine glass?

 

after all

a broken heart only needs

that one last sip

just enough to numb

the excruciating pain

that comes with loss

whilst giving company to my brokenness

 

eventually

awakening to an empty bottle

a huge hangover

and, on the floor

all the scrunched up typo’s

 

leaving me with…

 

my very own love album.

        • Teddy.15

          lol I believe most of us have, those who haven't don't know what they're missing. ❤️ I learnt so much in that very deeply troubling moment dear Nev, and I know you did too my darling friend. ❤️ Thank you.

            oh the drama of such love! We truly learn from every painful moment and it does make us incredibly strong and more humble when the real thing arrives ❤️ thank you my dear Lizzy, happy Halloween 🎃 👻

              wonderful poem, teddy. I had that in high school, I can relate. But I've been married so long. Anyway, I digress, it's a great topic and i think many people can relate.

              • Teddy.15

                Dear Christina8 thank you, so very kind of you. ❤️

                Reading your poem and my computer plays "Love Hurts" by the Everly Brothers. OMG, a coincidence no doubt. A great poem. Music and wine can conquer even love's tribulations. Yeah, we've all been there, and we've all learned from it. Again, loved this one. - Phil A.

                • Teddy.15

                  Wow good company for my poem indeed everly brothers, such very kind words dear Phil, I'm always humbled by your lovely reviews. ❤️ thank you so much.

                  Your beautifully crafted second stanza is a stunner, bookended between confession, and resolution. Masterful write dear Teddy, and as always exquisite taste in pics.

                  • Teddy.15

                    As your review is also exquisite my dear Bella, so incredibly kind as always. Thank you, you chose my favourite part too. ❤️

                    an ugly pain Teddy

                    but a heart will always heal

                    eventually.

                    • Teddy.15

                      yeh, lol it did and I have to say I survived it with a massive amount of pride, but in that time it was the worst pain and the most beautiful heartache that brought me to today. Thank you my dear Melvin. Always humbled by your kindness ❤️

                      • aDarkerMind

                        you and me both Teddy;

                        thank you too.

                        "a broken heart only needs
                        that one last sip
                        just enough to numb
                        the excruciating pain
                        that comes with loss
                        whilst giving company to my brokenness"
                        A great stanza here. Identifiable for anyone that has suffered loss of any type. Loved it.

                        • Teddy.15

                          So very honoured that you have found this, having had so much experience for every type of loss I am truly humbled by your visit dear sorrenbarret thank you Sir. 🌹 My life has been a great circle of lost and found, sometimes I share, so very deeply appreciated that you relate.
