P.S.

wow, Crim. The scratch of your quill leaves defining marks. Well written.

Just gonna squeeeeze right in and steal your comment, which conveyed exactly how she laid this piece  of adoration. Beautiful beautiful poem!

thank you my Darkest Lord for feeling me.. love Crim

thank you dear one for showing me love on this write.. love Crim

Some people use because they have a hard time loving. I would like to think (at least for some) they have a place in their heart that holds the same emotions. Have to say goodbye to those kind of people though. They are truly poisoning to your happiness.

Wonderful 🤗 Thanks for the read.

I'm in love with this piece. You've carved it's beauty into the ethers of time and that last stanza will forever ring in my mind. Much enjoyed

Crim, this piece is filled with so much raw emotion which flows nicely.  You are and remain one of my favorites on here.  Cheers to you beautiful one.

aw dearest Kym you warm my heart thank you beautiful :) love Crim

This is semi-tragic, Brenda. On the one hand the woman
has been virtually destroyed by her lover's heartlessness.
On the other hand the woman gave in to him and ALL of
his lies and half truth to welcome him back into her arms
when he desired her, hoping, against hope, that this time
it would be real. I know this for a fact, because women
can absolutely play that lying game as well as men.

you're so right Jerry woman do the same thing it goes both ways.. thank you for your thoughts you are deeply appreciated.. love Brenda

Excellent, don't waste your time on them...You are such a dynamic poet 💛

thank you most graciously Tim for the love and good advise.. love Crim

some things are easier to swallow with a mouthful of hard liquor
really great write brenda
hits me where it hurts
xx

thank you beautiful one kisses you where it hurts.. love Brenda

This has a sultry noir feel to it stylistically but it's heartbreaker thematically.  Not much tenderness to a lust affair.  He'll regret casting Lady Crim aside.  Beautiful work.

thank you dearest Sir Crow for the love you've shown me on my lust :) love Crim

Brenda.. when you preach truth.. we all stand in awe.. love you my friend...

thank you my dear friend I love you.. xo Brenda

Loved the artwork you chose
and I have to say, only a fool would taint such beauty.
A rare thing indeed, as are you, talented lady.
Left me a little teary with this one, but I enjoyed it immensely...

thank you most graciously lovely Kasai.. love Crim

My Beautiful Brenda...once again your raw honesty bares deep emotion, naked and vulnerable for all to witness...I clink my glass with you lovely one...those last two stanzas...damned right my love!

I love you!!

xoxo Taryn
