Collateral Damage
Enough will be enough.
Every minute an eternity in agony.
Sadness, no longer the mainstay.
Fury!
Dreams of vows fulfilled, never more.
An act once acted upon is synonym to a lie. Retraction no longer an option.
Is there a point to baring one’s soul?
Will shattered pieces of pledged love, only unto thee, be reparable?
Drunken slurs of disappointment turn to need.
To not be a duo feels crueler.
Nothing will be enough. Constant injuries birth selfish wantonness.
***+***+***+***+***+***
The only return is not.
We
have become collateral damage.

I am sorry to read this, Honoria. The most important question to ask yourself when in doubt over a relationship is this: does the pain of staying together outweigh the pain of being apart? When the answer to that question is yes, it's time to let go and move on.
Broken trust is so difficult to repair; it can be done. But, typically it requires loss to learn the lesson.
To better times. xo

Dearest A,
To the clink of glasses, yes, to much better times. Thank you for your sound insight. It’s the question that will garner the best solution. Thank you. I haven’t many coherent words just at the moment. Much love to you for this sweet reply to my rant.

The pain in this write is sharp and nearly palpable. The age-old questions about the why of a thing once it’s ended are so relatable. I’m so sorry for your pain ((hugs)) 💜💜💜.

Dearest L,
What’s it all about Alfie? springs to mind however, thinking logically isn’t quite where it’s at just now. Many thank you’s for your kind insight. ❤️❤️❤️H

I have no words; only prayers that you will be presented with an opportunity that helps restore your trust and leads to an outcome you are happy in.

It reads as if their is a reservoir of negative energy that is so immense it needs release or resolution.

Dear D,
Omg, thank you so much again for another read and lovely sweet comment. I’m truly so touched by this and very honored not to mention over the moon to start my day with your kindness. Thank you very much! Xx H🌷

The "shattered pieces of pledged love" line spoke to me, reminding me of my past.
This is a poem that will speak to many who have gone through similar situations in their lives.
Well done Honoria.

Your poem transported me back 30+ years to that immensely difficult time - all I can say is there is a path through it all that leads to better times and somehow we are supported in finding the path that is uniquely ours. Hugs, Josh.

I could resonate with this Honoria, one of my lifes little mottos always trying to be positive is to dust of the cobwebs and get back up and move forward, anyways great write 🌷

Dear P,
You have a great motto. Move forward is the right approach otherwise you just get left behind living on the past. Thank you so much for the read and kind comments. H🌷

Poet, this was a very good use of word imagery. It truly felt like you only used precisely the "write" words to make us readers feel what you feel...

Dear T,
So glad to see you! I hope you’re well amidst this current situation.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and share- I think we have similar approaches to being bitten/burned/battered or any other pile of BS! Xx H🌷

Yes we do.. My reviews are long over due. I am fairing well so far. I hope you are too. There is so much going on it's hard to take in so I've surrendered to what will be. I pray for all the souls that have suffered and lost...xoxo
