Just The Tip

I don't know how to process this. I don't know if I love it or hate it. All I know is I couldn't stop reading it. Several times, with roles switched around to see if it would make more sense. It didn't - except metaphorically, of course. You sure know how to weave a tale....

It's purposely written without assigning a sex or preferences, etc.  It's all encompassing.  

We all could be either one, at any given time.  

Excellent! The death of love over the years ( that's how I took it). On my RL.

You nailed it!  
All the little wounds, until the big one.
Thanks for the R/L and the connection of seeing it.  We all been there.

Where's your avatar?  

I kicked my avatar out years ago.

Find one of Buddha holding a cat.  Something!  Lol

Good one...lol.

I will just respond with;

Yes.

*and a wow *

My dad used to say "WOW" from their bedroom a lot. But then I realized he was looking at "MOM" upside down.  Dirty people!

Thanks most kindly, LadyFancy.  I noticed you used your actual name in another post, but I am still respectful and hesitant until given the okay.

Betty said it all.

That… was gutting. My god, the pace of it took my breath out of my body for a moment.  
 
The avante guard presentation was ruthless.  
 
I had to go back and re read it.. just… fuck  
 
The hesitancy, the pain, the pleading to not go down this road and then the acceptance to follow to somewhere that would have never, ever been acceptable to the non initiated party.  
 
God.  
 
I just read it again and I might fucking cry. Damn man, I was saving my last feeling for a holiday.  
 
Compounding the slow death of love… we have the annihilating of a human. Two really. This is the antithesis of love but it’s also the personification. We do bad things because we love.  
 
Because that’s what we think the other person wants.  
 
We hurt people. Then we feel an obligation to see their pain’s revenge, and it’s as pure an action of love as buying roses.  
 
It just ends with a flayed heart and a last goodbye.  
 
Fuck. This is the best fucking thing I’ve read in a while.  
 
You’re amazing, you know? You really are.  

Sometimes people draw it out of me.  They get credit too.  

And, really, what a comment.  I like being shown what I wrote, or why.   Because sometimes I just write with a singular emotion carrying me or something.  The scenarios build themselves.

*A flayed heart-  yep.  Good descriptor!

Your education with life is showing, as well as your insight.

That was an awesome break down of my write. Super cool of you, Betty.
Thank you!

Dear S,

This is intense. Aside from that I liked the volley between the characters. It didn’t matter who was nudging. Why does love have to be so painful and destructive? Every stab from each of those knives, I’ve experienced in some manner. It’s sad how amazingly well you’ve captured them. Stunning write. H🌷

Thank you H !!

I changed the ending.  Now I like it better.

The "blame" in this is subtle. But it's near the top.  The one pleading had led the other to become fed up, basically.  So, drastic results.  
I wanted the brutality of a breakup.  A life dies. The life they had shared.  Right?

Love hurts. Yes, I'm stealing that from Nazareth!  Lol

Wow, what a ride!  I knew how it would end, felt it pulling, sometimes dragging me towards the inevitable (don’t we always know where those knives are headed?)….and yet I couldn’t look away.  A masterful and uniquely told tale.  

“Couples die all the time” gutted me.  It’s a truth that wounds my heart knowing it exists.  Beautifully done, Styxian.  

Hiya Luna.

  This was a crazy write, and read, I know.  But I wanted impact. I wanted it to get messy.  
I never regret a breakup I've had. But I regret it got that far.  There's a difference in that.

My second to last GF, when I was leaving her, she actually yelled "no one has ever broke up with me! I do it! ".  
And I said, and there's the problem.  She didn't understand.  

I'm glad you tolerated this write of mine!   I like how you stayed with it.  Courage is everything!  Lol.

I can't add to what others have said. This is almost filmic and screams so many truths of the human condition. You really should be published in print mate and I know a little bit about these things. Tremendous. Rob

Thank you Rob, for the supportive comment.  
I've been published some, small time.  I'm kinda public shy with my writes.  But the day's coming that I'm not.  
I enjoy the place I'm at with my writes right now.  A book is so isolating.  Lol.

Hiya stranger!  
Thanks amiga.  And better days are already here.  This write was a particular mood at the time. I've recovered from it.  Lol.
