Never have, Never will

This
is not the way
it was supposed to end

How
it was supposed to end
I don’t know
but this
I find uncomfortable

I wish now
that I
had said nothing
to influence this ending

I suspect
that I could not
have said anything different
but
I could have said
nothing

Then
at least
I might not
have felt responsible for it

I don’t
like endings
never have
never will

Perhaps
that’s why
I prefer circular thinking
have trouble
finishing things off
and can’t handle good-byes

Something
to teach
your children?

Maybe
I’ll stop
and see you sometime
. . .
maybe not

This sort of took me in circles. But then it's late, maybe that's it. Joyce

This is written almost indifferently - was that the intention?

I like it...it works...

KrawDad~
I felt the intensity of this piece~
Sometimes it happens just that way~
And in the 'end' we loop back through circling memories ...

I'm with you ... I LOVE CIRCLES !

Trying to find an end in a circle is indeed confusing kraw---and this DID seem to have a flavor of irreverence to it...or maybe it's just ME!

Enjoyed, e.

*every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...*
i guess i'm the opposite... i like the end, cause it means a new horizon

i have a real problem with the concept of "eternity"...
but i didn't always think this way, i i feel you.
wonderful thoughts.

You gotta love livin, cause dyin's a pain in the ass.

==========================

wise ponderings Krawdad....
a very cool poem...

made me think of Frosts poem...
Nothing Gold Can Stay.
great writing.

(Ethan!! What a very cool quote!!!)

Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly ...
To be fearful of the night.

Thank you all for stopping by.  Funny how something you think is just a throw-away turns out to be something else for the reader.  This is not the first time this has happened and I have only an inkling of why.

Joyce,
Took me in circles too.

Lady,
Well, it was like that, but tears are meant to be cleansing, no?

Severn,
Ambivalent, yes, but not indifferent.  Indifference is the antithesis of care and love.

Marge,
Gee, how did I know you would?

Serenity,
Irreverence?  Hmmm . . . some bitterness.

Ethan,
Your response has me pondering.
The eternity problem?  I think of myself as being there.  My linear thinking friends see eternity as the end point in their journey.  Very curious.

Vandana,
Glad you enjoyed.

Janet,
Thanks, I'm flattered by your comments.

Tessa & PoeticKnight,
You understood?  I didn't.  I still don't understand these things.  "never have, never will."

JLR,
Thank you for the "amazing."
