A Farewell To Foolishness

3WW

a transfer of affection
a brutal severance of connection

groping around looking for the light switch
in the dark in the middle of the day

these foolish things remind me of you sweetheart

  3. ha.

    the sweetheart puts a nice rather ironic end on this...

    looking for the light switch in the day light...that says much...

  5. These words conjure up the memories of a forbidden tryst. Sadly mine are less lyrical than yours.

  6. Recall the sorrowful as well as the joyous as you mourn the past. Sometimes brutality and suddeness is the only way.

  7. I too liked the looking for the light switch in the middle of the day. Very telling. And something many of us have done...

  8. "a brutal severance of connection" Felt that like a punch in the chest. Every line in this is so poignant and is so few words you say so much! Well done.

  10. Some deep emotions captured here. Love the defiant sharp edge in the last sentence.
