It wasn't easy to break your heart
It wasn't even my intention
I was so naive
So caught up
in trying to be an angel
that somewhere along the way
I lost my wings
doing foolish
devilish
things
I lost the way
And, my only rebuttal.....
I loved me some you
Everything you did was right with me
right for me
Only one thing I didn't take into account
was how fast life moves
once you stop trying
Did I stop trying?
Was I too complacent
Did I stop honoring what brought us together
Did I stop acknowledging what made us connect...
Lost in respecting,
appreciating our differences
instead of changing them
Did I dishonor us...
Please say I didn't assume it was only sex...
I loved it in SP and I love it here...excellent interp..
ReplyDeletevery very good mental play
ReplyDeletequestioning and answering in a very offbeat way
with a meaning that is straing black and white
Nikki....Thanks. Glad u can see where I was going...
ReplyDeleteZeus...it starts with the key...which is what it is...and then how u get there..
ReplyDeletethanks for grasping the concept also..
Joyce, I'm feeling the questions...I've asked a few similars myself a few times. I quess we want to really know that our relationships have meaning. Excellent writing sis!
ReplyDeleteExactly Velle....We need to think our relationships mean more than sex...and when they breakdown, and we dont have answers...this reaadily comes to mind
ReplyDeletethanks Sistahgirl!
ok why did I just look at the picture and realize the lock and key. was too busy in the flow of the scribe LOL
ReplyDeleteZeus...the exercise was to write an abstract interpretation, and not use lock or key, or words that pertain to it.
ReplyDeleteSo I used the abstract menaing of the superficiality of relationships...
It should never be just about sex. After orgasmic tremors stop and the sweat dries, it is good to connect to someone outside of the bedroom. I likes it a lot.

ReplyDeleteI know I was just laughing at myself for not seeing that in the beginning is all Joyce.
ReplyDeleteit was an excellent use
ASW....Minus the tremors...LOL> So true. We accentuate the sexual aspect as what keeps people together, when it's much more than that. Sex is a key, but not the only way to a person's heart...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input...
Thanks Again, Mister Z...
ReplyDeleteHONESTY....even with self...always the best policy...One can never move forward...when in idle complacence....
ReplyDeleteYOUR STILL IN MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE PLACES TO BE EVERYDAY....hugs~

ReplyDeletejakuper I've been meaning to get around to you and I'm so happy I finally made it. Look at what you're working with. You sent me chills at the soul searching questions you ask of yourself in this piece and it it kicks butt.
ReplyDeleteNUBIAADORE....Thanks You..and welcome to my humble life link....
ReplyDeleteI am glad you could be inspired by my thoughts, and questions...I think if improvement is needed, it starts within me...
I love the way you ended it....such deep emotion - but controlled. You know I miss visiting you daily. peace.
ReplyDeleteTammy....It does not matter. At least you are around...and your heart is so cool!
ReplyDelete(I never properly thanked you for nominating my work for Poet of the Year.. I was honored to be among the top writers, and by your confidence in my words! Your friendship is very valuable to me...almost priceless)
Thanks soooo much!
