It wasn’t true ...
but what is truth
It wasn’t real ...
but eyes can lie
It wasn’t mine ...
or yours to give
It wasn’t love ...
but hearts still cry

How true that can be Kurt put in such a poetic manner. Nicely done my friend and a fave
Thanks again, Soren.
What a haunting piece, Kurt. The spare structure, measured pauses, and emotional restraint create an ache far greater than the poem’s size. It reached into some painfully familiar territory for me...beautifully done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Very kind, thanks.
