I ache on Tuesday nights because
I did not get my Monday love.
On Wednesday's I get paranoid--
because I feel a throbbing void.
And yes, it is quite possible
for emptiness to fossile us
humans into what was love,
in layers of the pain of dust
impacted by the stomping of
our foot upon the wanting's was
of how it used to be (so sweet)
I love you. I hope you love me.
Forgive me, for my little rhyme.
I miss you love. I miss you, "MINE".
I won't pretend that this is art--
just another bloody heart
that Hallmark would not pay me for...
I love you, love you, love you more.
I thought that was impossible;
but ask The Bear, and fishrock too
if I'm not a faithful tear
rolling down your cheek--I'm HERE...
sending you my troth.

Whoaaaaa! Karen! Talk about a Hallmark moment, this is a Karen snapshot. And rhyming too. I love it, I love your heart and very active brain power.

a perhaps all-too-common set of human experiences well captured in this 'write'! ...

that 'only the lonely' might truly understand and appreciate.

Great lines as are all the rest.
It crys real poetic blues girl.

I'll call those Hallmark jerks and set them straight. After all, a girl's gotta have her pay for such pain.

Loved the same lines as Ethome, and also very much agree with his response.

Hallmark can't handle this much truth. *S* Or maybe they just don't want their stores to face lawsuits from all the "slip and falls" on aisles filled with tears.

Understanding... and sending ((((HUGS))))

Beautifully written and so pain filled it reminds me of that longing, that yearning that aches throbbing like a toothache which nags constantly. Wonderful piece so well constructed I love it x
Love and warm stuff

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
