Finally…

gossamer

gossamer 

You asked could you be forgiven, 
I said yes, but you see I lied.
You asked if you had hurt me,
I said no, truth is I cried.
Truth can be sometimes hurtful,
make the vulnerable even more so.
Then you asked if we had a future,
I answered with truth,
coup de grâce,
a loud
No!!

    • Hi there Sweeti, yup, no point in wasting precious time living a lie. ‘Tis raining again hereabouts, but nothing as bad as London, and the South Of England. So much water… and so many lives upturned through it. xxx

  2. Looks like I will be eating all the chocolates for myself then ma Lady, and I thought we were the perfect… Hey I will still share my wine gums, that’s if Fraz and Winky have saved us any 😉 I have enjoyed reading this one Lady Pen but then your poetic wickedness has always been second to none 🙂

    • ah Andro, I was going to tell you, sigh!! (Pen lowers her head, and chuckles!!) You teaser Oh Darkest One, Chocolates? Where? but no, Wine Gums? Thou art spoiling me… 🙂 (I bet WInky and Fraz have demolished them all) I’m glad you enjoyed this one, my almost reverse Valentine, Hope your Sunday is a good one. xPenx

  3. I like the energy in this poem. A resounding NO to balance off the tears. I always wonder if these poems you write are about you or if the muse just shares through you. In my own writing it’s sometimes one way, sometimes another, so that’s probably how it is with you, too. Happy belated Valentines Day, Pen!

    • ah now Kathy, ‘twould be telling eh? BUT I can say, sometimes there’s a grain of me in there, mayhap something of the like happened. Sometimes though it’s pure daydream, just an idea, a line in my head which grows and I go with the flow. (seems to be my motto at this time in my life. ‘Go with the Flow’ Maybe it’s not a good one. but for me it’s working. ) I am so, so glad you enjoyed the read, and very much belated Valentine wishes.to you.. Have a great Sunday… xPenx\

  4. Love is a play of gain and loss, of joy and heartache. We hope in all that it will last but truth is it doesn’t for some while others are blessed with their happily ever after. Beautiful, soulful poetry my friend. Belated Valentine’s Day.

  6. A fascinating Valentine’s Day poem, Lady P. Give the coup de grace (I can’t even do the do-hicky) to a non-working relationship. You wouldn’t spit on him if he was on fire (to quote Wallace Beery).
