Oh, what a poignant poem this is! Truth and honesty are paramount in a relationship, without them both, there cannot be a meaningful and healthy relationship. The final two lines of the poem: "Ties based on lies seldom stay strong" bring the whole poem together for me. Can never understand why a partner in love cannot be upfront! Anybody who 'strings another along' is using them for the user's own benefit. Best this relationship hit the rocks and sank the relationship in deepest waters never to be resurrected or given the kiss of life so it could be renewed again. I like the message within the poem which is evident once the poem is read, that is to never make use of another human being, never lie, never cover-up and never take your partner for granted or for a fool! Sorry, Jim. I got a bit carried away there! Well inked and expressed, the words are covered in a blanket of sadness! Great write... Thank you for sharing...
