Do not think that your action did not cause a reaction
deep inside, where truth lies how much deceit held in blue eyes
was invisible, could not be seen
nothing, but nothing, was as it seemed.

Like a punch your words landed with a right to the heart
it’s been a game to you beginning from the start
I can’t even fathom how you did dare
to pretend…..acting like you cared.

Now your words to me, are completely empty
one single moment, forever has changed me.
I no longer believe, in it’s existence
no more than a thought, it’s non-existent.

I send this plea, on wing of dove
please, do not speak to me, of love.


{The struggles make you stronger,
the changes make me wise
.....life ain't always beautiful...(G.Allen}

I've been on the other side of this, as well as, given out my share of punches, I'm ashamed to say...

Gentle, this tugged the heart strings



Good morning lovely

it's sad when that happens, but there is always hope that another's words will hold the love wanted.

Hope you are finding some way to enjoy this hot summer Donna.

This empassioned write feels like it must have stemmed from a very fresh wound to the heart. I hope that be not the case, Gentle Spirited One.

You are deserving of the best that Cupid has to offer.

Whether you write of the joys or the sorrows of love, you are a master writer of affairs of the heart.

With love,
Linda

GS - A most touching write!  I have no answer for that moment that changes us but I do know that we have to know love before our time is out.  Perhaps anything less than the joining of "minds" is not really love and even then it is maybe not meant to be forever.  Let the person who defaulted on love take the responsibility for it and he will in time answer for it in some way or other.

Donna...I like what Helen said....and also wanted to add from your title, do not speak to me of love...is there anything else more worthwhile?

no, not forever
though it seems not to be so
love will come to you

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Donna, the only way from down-and-hurt is up-and-comforted.  I hope you are already walking this path with the sun on your shoulders, a cooling breeze in your face, flowers at your feet and your friends around you.
