Thanks for Coming But ..

Neville

Thanks for Coming But ..

 

I don’t need your pity,

or your

sympathy right now ..

But those tears

of yours, sure do look

pretty in the last

of my frayed sunlight ..

And although,

I really could have

used some love

a while back, it’s way

too late

to question what

on earth went wrong

between us ..

So no, I do not need

your pity

or your sympathy

right now ..

But thank you so very

much for coming ..

I am certain though

there will be others,

who are

more than grateful

and even

mightily impressed ..

I just wish things

had been different ..

So goodbye,

my dear friend and

with much love

and respect, I now

truly wish you

and yours, all the best ..

    They say this to be then add..... 'but you've overstayed your welcome'. The intention is for me to 'get my coat' but I don't get the hint, and I stay around like a bad smell/apple/penny/ bad whatever! lol.

        Well written and it pretty much says it all. "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Here I hear irritation covered with a thin blanket of civility. Lovely

            Friend or lover, it matters naught. A relationship falls apart and the leaving or going begins. Sometimes the love has turned to hatred, and you can't wait to be rid of them, and sometimes it remains, which makes the parting more painful. Once in a while, it's a bit of both. Then, the emotions become tangled. One way or the other, it is probably best to have parted. It certainly makes for better poetry. - Phil A,
