I’ve spent a couple days
since your letter
you, once again
in the back of my mind

a couple days
wondering what I would say
if I answered

I’m sorry for your pain
and the anger in your tone
though it seems so disproportionate
to the finite love
you showed

you threw the word
unconditional
about
as if it were a mantra

but honey, it was you
who didn’t love
the reality
of me

Love me, love my reality.
That's as it should be.

Great use of words.
Loved the read.

Some people don't live and don't let others live. All we can do is protect our hearts. Good Luck!

------------------
This is really sad. Sometimes people build the people that they love up in their minds and place them on this pedestal, until the reality of that person just can't compete. But you know it's true love when they can see your flaws and still the love the "reality of you". This is a great write.

Duncan.. again a concise telling with a strong ending.. nicely written! The tale it tells is all to familiar and sad, but you bring the message across without over dramatizing .... good work sir...

can I frame this? I mean, that word has been misused and trashed so many times it's not funny! Thank you a million times for this one.!

Excellent expression of feeling here Duncan. You have such a way with words. And if she didn't love the reality of you, then you have not lost much (yeah, yeah, I know..easier said than done. That's what I keep trying to tell myself, but I don't listen either, so why should you

)

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
