Nice picture for the work up for your poem. Sometimes relationships end up going nowhere. It just wasn't meant to be for some reason or another.

Strong Imagery in 5-7-5 format. An all too common sad tale brought forth vividly in this piece. Good choice of photo to accompany. Good luck in the contest.
I enjoyed!

Comment from WildWithWords
Short and very sad, Nassus.
Two lost dreams I would identify as the loss of a yearned-for unending love (from Line 1) plus the failure of a husband to live up to expectations held by his woman (from Line 2 and the lack of a goodbye kiss).
Unless the word "unborn" has specific relevance/importance to you I'd suggest you consider one change....
lukewarm thoughts of love
his goodbye kiss forgotten
two dreams UNFULFILLED
Just a thought.

Yes and the terrible sadness that accompanies the loss of a potential aptly portrayed here especially in the tone of the 5-7-5 poem - a distinct sense of finale

Comment from Helena Frances
Great picture to express the quiet last breath of love--it doesn't always go out with a bang. Its exit caught me by surprise, but life gets better with new dreams:)
Good 5-7-5 format.

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Hmmm...yes, that moment when "it's me and not you, really means it's 'us.'" I loved your use of the word lukewarm, and then the word choice, "dreams unborn." Very powerful way to describe a doomed love affair. Good luck in the 5-7-5 contest. You have a solid entry that is formatted nicely.

Sometimes`wisdom overcomes lust and folly. Ah, a whole world of people and it really only takes one...takes some searching and a lot of false starts to get the results you need...excellent entry for the five /seven/five contest...

Comment from Hugh McDowell
Excellent. Lukewarm thought of love, great line. I wish I had thought of this. The forgotten goodbye kiss and the two dreams unborn complete this sad theme. Love becomes an afterthought. Not even a burning cinder but slightly warm piece of charcoal. Very well written and expressed. Hugh

Comment from Dean Kuch
Yeah, ya got that right at least, Susan.
If a relationship becomes one-sided, for example (and most eventually do), then one or the other of the parties is gonna get hurt.
That's why I so often say that love is merely a myth, at least as it pertains to loving just one woman.
Friends with benefits--that's all I need.
Happy Holidays to you & yours,
~Dean
