oh wow beautiful Indie this hurts…I have such illusions and I still hold onto them even when proven wrong by others hugs great write ❤️

That ending is like a gut punch. Lovely write.

I remember writing once “images of you and me never equal any semblance of we.” This caught my breath and took me back to that moment. I agree with Fia, those last lines are powerful and painful.

“OUCH”. Agree with those above, it is a very powerful write and painful to read and know it happens far too often. -Curt

Powerfully penned, Indie. Excellent write with lots of layers my friend. That ending was painful indeed. Appreciate you.

Traumatic
Hard to recognize when they sell you out.

Keep punching Indie ..

The pain of knowing betrayal. It’s shattering. Thank you for sharing your poem.

To cool and it’s relatable to all that write, tight

Chère L.,
Beauty.
The Chinese version:
Beauty in the woods, where no one can hear it, is still beautiful

The greater Amsterdam version:
Beauty which is shared with other people, grows

It’s almost akin to:
Sometimes giving away makes me richer.
All this and more you gave us with this wonderful post.

If you’re American: Thank you very much
In all other cases: (please) keep on keeping on (Curtis Mayfield)
Kind regards, Gus

Powerfully penned, Lizz. Excellent write nicely transformed into lyrics my friend. It’s the little differences between the two that gives them each their own personality, while mirroring each other’s point in substance. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Thanks 😊

Im so sorry to hear you’re going through all of that. You want you write horror go ahead. There are a few people on here that love it.

It wouldn’t be all horror.

First reading of your predicament, super sorry to read of this. But hopefully your surgeries are successful and we get a new Paula with a totally new poetic vision.
