A show, a theatrical performance
if you will
love, love can be Oscar worthy
it can also be very useful for the
shredder machine
floating down into a waste paper bin
forever ruined and worthless
pride can take it's pedestal
some preferring to smile
keeping up the show
gaining at least dignity
for their soul
others with gumption
will take their pride and go.

A lovely poem, enjoyable to read
Thank you so much. Love has always been my favourite subject in poetry. ๐น
You are very welcome
Superlatively charged depiction of the end of love often necessitating gumption and resilience to go through the process. Powerful expression Teddy.
Thank you so much dear arqios most appreciated ๐น
Dear Teddy, I imagined Gloria Gaynor belting out, I will survive. I sang it too in 1982, at the top of my voice. An anthem for broken hearts. Love your poetry dear Teddy. Have s beautiful day. ๐น
One of my favourite songs along with you're just to good to be true , two very different contrasts of love sang both every week in a Twickenham pub. Thank you for your most gracious presence on my page my dear Cassie so very much appreciate the ladies, we are a small group here. ๐น๐๐ค๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐น
Teddy, we are a very small group, but I hope an appreciated group ๐๐น๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐น
Pride is like a virus that takes over oneโs body. It has little use, but seems to be pervasive. Far better to be humble. Nicely said Teddy.
I also like my pride but you really do put a light on the fact that pride can also be a setback in many ways , that's where the saying (you let your pride get in the way) I so appreciate this dearest sorrenbarret thank you dear friend. ๐น
Good write, Teddy. Very timely words for me today.
Sending loads of hugs dear friend, thank you for coming by to share. ๐ค
How many ways to express love in its many forms? Well done.
Thank you so much dear Dan ๐น
The love that I have will never go in the shredder Teddy.
Andy
Glad to hear it dearest Andy.. ๐น
