Oh how I can identify with this, my friend. It happens over and over again, doesn't it? I think I finally made a clean break of it this time as I just can't deal with the verbal and emotional abuse any more. I just hope I have rid my heart of it too. You have said so much in these few words~Debbie

Great words in an excellent form like a voice echoing back and forth from that heart. Well written and a poignant message of lost love mourned.

Intriguing artwork and presentation for this free verse. "Here you Still Are" is an interesting title for this poem. Well done.

Blessings

A dynamic poem--both in words and accompanying illustration. How wonderful it is when the "right one" doesn't leave. If the "right one" does leave--he/she is the "wrong one."

Yeah, sometimes they can linger there for quite a while even after they are no longer in your life. Great job on this, good thought, thanks for the share.

A shrewd piece! It arouses profound echoes or memories. Memories are a thing of the past. But the past is dead yet our minds feed off dead things and that is the tragedy of our lives.-Ekim777

Sorry, Debs, I'll bugger off as soon as I've written this. ;-)

With respect this reads to me more like two statements rather than poetry. I see no poetic devices to classify it as free verse, but it's still very strongly worded and a good, dramatic read.

Have a great weekend, my friend.

Cheers, Ray xx

Thanks for your gracious reply, Debs, and I hope I didn't sound too grumpy. You know me - I'm always honest, but that doesn't make me right. ;-) Ray xx

Yep, pretty hard when they take up fucking residence LOL
I have one that I tried to send packing but I'm haunted while it lurks in the background and every now and then it rears it's oh so familiar head and I stumble (more aptly, I'm derailed for a day or three haha) but I struggle on.
Wasn't never dang nang meant to be...




Then again...



LOL
Hang in there. I'm assuming it's mister note on the window. It'll pass.

Til next time haha
