You call and talk of missing love
Expecting me to care
How could I when you broke MY heart
With a love you never shared

your 100grit love is smoothing my soul

Ouch.

Your poems are always so haunting because of their sparse minimalism. I feel this one works great as a single bullet, but I wonder what it would be like if this one were expanded to tell more of the story?

That is, if there is more to tell.

Either way, great poem.

When they tell you you're smothering them, and "pushing", and leave for someone else, and then return to tell you of their sadness over loss of one that told them  they were smothering and pushing....???? God has a strange way about him, and yet some never learn. I relate totally...Again, Kris, excellent poem!

I have SOOO been there..... Still getting over him, since I'm an idiot and don't seem to know the meaning of "letting go". *deep sigh*

Awesome poem.

Right to the point, nicely done.  You might want to expand some more but if you feel you get your point across in a few lines, then it works
