The final goodbye creeps sneakily sly like a snake in the wilderness does and stalks the edges of innocence until it is time to strike. Patient are snakes and final goodbyes because the strike must be deadly true to reach the unprotected core when it is least expected. Strike and I'm dead; I don’t exist like an extraordinary mystical vision seen and then lost in preposterous life always present like traffic lights. Now traffic lights can’t assimilate loss or empathize with the deprived so those who should proceed onward stand immobilized on the line. They don’t hold up traffic, oh, no. no. no, because people like me and you and them are plain and simply mystical visions seen and then, of course, lost! Helen / 15 July 2012 |

I agree with everything you have said here, Honeybunch. "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."-Vladimir Lenin |

Good byes are never easy... sometimes they are for the best, other times you just don't know. Well done HB. Ms. E |

Splitting up can cause dreadful thoughts and repercussions. Sometimes I wonder why the whole "love" thing is set up the way it is. Love has caused more grief and even deaths than most people realize. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting. I guess goodbye is goodbye regardless of whether it is said or not. |

Goodbyes are things that though not replaceable are shrinkable and surmountable with "hello's", my friend..."we" just have to make the decision that it's time to do so (and I'm speaking from the standpoint of the 'receiver' not the 'giver'). j. |

Too true "J". As I get older I find it harder to make decisions of any kind but eventually it's a case of "what the hell, go for it" and I've seldom regretted those decisions. Thanks for the read. Helen |

Patient are snakes and final goodbyes because the strike must be deadly true to reach the unprotected core when it is least expected. How very true! And both can poison our existence... Excellent write! |

Helen The emotions are so well expressed in this piece. Never ready for that trauma. This has got some bitter strength in it and that makes this writing potent although it is sad. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |
