Notice of absence from arqios
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…
In the shadow that our hearts cast,
hatred blooms, a stubborn weed
where once grew a garden of trust.
Words, once tender,
shatter like glass,
a bridge collapsing under weight,
echoes of apologies
falling into silent abyss.
We deceive ourselves,
clutching memories like
fragments of a broken mirror,
forgetting the faces we wore,
the warmth that once held us close,
burying the past
in shallow graves.
A vast network unfurls,
a circuitry of disconnection,
new bridges rise on the horizon,
but the arteries lie severed,
thoroughfares overgrown,
forgotten paths leading nowhere.
We navigate this labyrinth,
the ghosts of what was,
whispering in the dark,
sagely reminding us
that healing is a slow tide,
and that some wounds
will never truly mend.

ABBA!!!! Oh, I love them! Quintessentially perfect for this painfully eloquent number, where love is in the entire affair, I wonder since that's the only glue which holds. [Keeping it playing on repeat...] Exquisite and rendered superbly with perfect imagery and a bitter poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
And thank you for your much welcome words in response! Just so grateful to ‘hear’ about the heart of things 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
I can understand this arqios but it is harder when your loved one dies as my wife did five years ago.
Andy
Thanks Andy; so sorry to hear. 🕊🙏🏻
Sorry to hear this, Andy. ❤️🩹
Good write A.
Thanks O! 🙏🏻🕊
Breaking up isn`t easy, breaking up in the right way is even harder either way memories take a long time to fade. A lovely read.
So true! Thank you 🙏🏻 👍🏻🕊
You are very welcome
Sadly I believe every relationship must fail.Its a law of physics called entropy.This a thoughtful poem linking many of the emotions involved in breaking up.Well done
Oh yes, that’s how it is and yet the emotions are at times untrainable as the mind. This sadness is shared 👍🏻🕊🙏🏻
This poem sings in a haunting dark fog. It is well worded and conveys well the message of past pain and hurt of burnt bridges and lost relationships. It offers little hope but the consolation that others too have walked this path. I deserves a fave
Thanks Soren. Most appreciative of your validation 🙏🏻🕊
A superbly written piece dear arqios
We deceive ourselves,
clutching memories like
fragments of a broken mirror,
forgetting the faces we wore,
the warmth that once held us close,
burying the past
in shallow graves.
Isn't it truly a tragedy when two people feel there is nothing left to say or do. Absolutely heartfelt my friend. 🌹
The truth shines though it hurts. 🙏🏻🕊
Hi
Hi
Breaking up is never easy and, truth, some wounds never truly heal. I have a few of them myself. This is an easy fave for me my friend. Well done! 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
You're welcome, my friend.
Well penned arqios, sadly it is a part of life. But not all relationships follow this path, some follow a path lined with roses along the way. 🌹
Indeed! There’s always hope even if it’s sometimes on the next lane. 😊🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
Excellent write
Thanks Tony 👍🏻🕊
You're welcome
So nice. "burying the past in shallow graves" revolves into "some wounds will never truly mend.", very nice.
Revolving revolutions like the windmills of our minds! Thanks heaps 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
A powerful, emotive poem. Such a fine write.
Thanks Tom. I’m still attempting to get to your latest poem posted here 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊
