Bouquet of Withered Flowers

I thought two hearts were better than one

That our grey skies were better than none

How wrong I was

I should beg your forgiveness

But you’ll see me weak

 

Was your hold to keep me safe?

Or just to keep me

I don’t have anywhere to go

And yet I need to leave

 

Don’t breathe

I don’t want forever

I want the promise that death will part us

‘You don’t know what you’ve got till you’ve got it”

 

No love, not even hate

Just flaccid indifference

And I really am sorry

[Mia]

Thank you Pax, I always appreciate you stopping by and your comments! I'm glad you liked this one

[Horizon K.]

What a way to let go of someone. There is a mature feeling to this parting with indifference and a solid decision to move on. Great stuff!

[Mia]

Thank you lovely :)

[Sid]

Love can be misleading at times I guess, great write as always Mia, you bring out the emotions very well but why is it untitled though, just wondering...anyways great write!

[Mia]

Thank you Sid!
I can't think of a title :(

[Sid]

Sad, but don't worry you'll think up something good! :)

[Mia]

I hope so

[Sid]

[Mia]

yes, "till death do us part" seems no longer the norm...it is until the first big argument...couples just don't work at it like they used to.

i felt this poem very much...having gone through three divorces...i thought marriage was forever.

Love's a tricky thing...I'm learning that all the time! Thank you Jacob

[jacob erin-cilberto]

tricky yes, but quite possible not only to find...but to make work...understanding, compassion and commitment go a long way.

[Mia]

Indeed

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Unfortunately love is never guaranteed... The best we can do is appreciate it when we have it... a beautifully written piece.

[Mia]

Ain't that the truth! Thank you Dale

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

My pleasure.

[Patrick]

ooooo was my first reaction...why untitled though? those first two lines set the table so well that even if you slapped up some soggy bread and cold beans i would still eat it...as it was i rank this poem as a decent steak pie with some crispy chips

[Mia]

I'm temped to say it's I don't care enough to name it...that works well with the theme right...but truth be told I couldn't think of anything
Thank you :D

[Patrick]
