He and She... Flash back poetry and the end of a brief hiatus
So for a while I've had no time to write. Tied up with Civic obligations, I reluctantly allowed myself to stay off Steemit. It was difficult I must admit, seeing as I had developed a sort of near-addiction to writing here. Oh well...
The hiatus is over now, hopefully. And here's a little musing for y'all...
He was trapped...
Forced to sail on this ship...
He didn't want it, but couldn't refuse it,
He was trapped, in an unwanted relationship...
He could not leave,
That option would take his life...
He wouldn't please her, but couldn't displease her,
He could not leave, for he was damned to his wife..
She did all for him...
Hoping one day he would change...
She used up her energy, seeking one little synergy,
She did all, believing that love is strange..
Oh she was desperate...
One last act to save 'I do'...
But with each painful thrust after thrust, screams and rigours of lust,
Oh she was desperate, but even then she knew...
That as he came through like a tide in haste...
He wasn't making love... He was making hate...
Hmmmm
I still don't like you.😝
But, your poetry can stay.
Stay.
Lol... As if she's got a choice

This is just
Your technical skill, in the flow and structure, the wonderful use of repetition, the way the second two verses mirror the first two, and then it all ties together at the end, is as always, wonderful.
I just love this though, you capture so well the feeling here, the flame of love burnt down low, but unable to bear putting it out. This line
just perfectly sums up that feeling of not being enough, but not wanting to cause the hurt of going away. Her dedication, and hope, that only serves to cut her. The pain of something not being the same, the stab of hollow affection, you capture so very much, in so few words, and evoke such depths of emotion. Damn, i missed you, and your writing ;) Please tell me this come back includes gifting us a possible ending for #finishthestory
Oh... Calluna... Oh... I've missed you too, and your "to die for" comments...
And yeah it does... It does... In a bit.
