You Don't Get to See

1 year isn't a long time, but I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm sure it feels like a set of weights have been dropped into your stomach.

It isn't a long time but time wasted is that.  We were supposed to move in together June and he just bails.  I know it wasn't a 10 year marriage, but it's painful.

Wow, it sounds like he was trying to avoid responsibility and commitment. Sucks. That really is wasted time.

One day, one year, ten years…
Time doesn’t matter when the emotions are deep.
Healing is a process.
Holding you in thought, poetess.

Thank you and I mean that because comments like this put a smile on my face.

My pleasure.

I'm glad they don't get to see because for one, they don't deserve to & two, they are blind! 😊

This comment as well, is kind and clever and gives me those nudges to continue on my journey to move on from this.

I know this feeling well. My GF at the time many years ago announced she wanted to break up after a year and a half.  I thought we would get married.  We worked in the same building so I ran into her a lot.  I know your pain.  Feel ya ....

Hang tight  
There will be other loves ..

It feels like I'm hanging on for dear life while he stomps on my fingers, hey, that sounds like the beginning of poem, thank you.

I loved this. excellent description of how and why we have to build walls for protection.

Thank you.

i truly believe there is NO TIME LIMIT to our grieving

Every now and then i STILL lament when a love said she no longer wanted "us" to "be"
It hurt and hurt because i NEVER SAW it coming

You lines:
" You don’t
get to see
the love I carry
because
I bury it
in my keep.

~Beyond the deep~ "

kind of reminded me of when me and my wife (many many decades ago) split up

Loved the conversion of raw emotion into words

Thank you.  I agree there isn't a time limit, the good thing is my best friend and my sister aren't letting me sulk.  Though they have told me to stop with the "sad poetry shit".

I have no RLs to give. Sigh.

And hey, you write whatever you want to, especially if it's as good as this one. The first stanza is killer. And the rest does not let down at all.
 Writing is therapy. We all suffer with you too.  Let it out.

It's nice enough to get a visit and comment so thank you.

Dear V,

I’ve started and deleted my response to this piece so many times I’ve lost track. I’m falling short on being able to express how I have related to this very subject in almost the exact same ways. Uncanny, comes to mind. But heartbroken for your pain is mostly what stands out because I’m familiar with it. Only writing as poignant and heartfelt can illicit such visceral responses and this is one if them. Great writing. H🌷

Thank you for this nice comment.

Now why didn’t I see and read this before … this is good.

Thank you.
