When Love is Not Enough -- competition piece --
closing the book
after the final chapter has been read
over and over
closing the front door
since my bags are packed
like we discussed
starting the car
now I have a new destination
hoping that you’ll find yours soon
it’s not you
it’s not me
this life became too small for two

Wasn't going to write something new for the 'It's not you, it's me' competition until this thing hit me out of the blue.

I can truly and totally relate to this. The shrinking shared space, and ever decreasing circles when the brick hits the still waters. It makes no difference who cast it , the ripples separate and carry us off ...wherever.
I think your write was worthy of much higher praise. I applaud you.

Thank you so much for this lovely comment when I was sure there wasn't gonna be any at this point. You surprised me.
I appreciate the comment and its message. It's a strange and painful phenomenon we all relate to at some point.

You're welcome Delanee,
I was also surprised that I was the sole commenter to such a poignant piece of writing.
I applaud you.

Thank you very much dear HF. I am so glad you felt the emotional heaviness of this poem that was literally spilled in under 5 minutes... Which is what initially made me a little unsure about it.
We do hold on too long, but I think when it comes to these matters we just want to be as sure as possible that we're making the right heartbreaking decision - when in fact we're just adding to the heartbreak.
I truly appreciate your praise ;)
