An exaggerated version
Magnified
Amplified
Uncomplimentary details
Whisked away
Underneath
The time it takes
To walk out that door…
Cold feet
Chasing
Reaching
Grabbing
As I stood
Half naked in the street
The truth
Staring
Glaring
Mere inches from my frosted parts
There you were
This thing I had created
Ignoring the burn
In my arms
I kneaded and shaped
Blurry eyes
Seeing such a tiny part
An ounce
Maybe half
More of a smidgen really
The one who made me
Ache
Not another character
In a bedtime story!
When your heart breaks
The sound is so loud
It seems like the world
Stops for a second
(It’s funny…here’s the best part)
Actually,
The noise
Is you
Finally
Fucking off.

I am glad that you would set me in my place. Loved it.
You know me too well John. Thank you! I’m so pleased you enjoyed it.
You are welcome and it IS my Pleasure.
Loved the end – let that pain go – let the person who causes the pain go out of our life ❤️
Thank you very much! Kick them to the curb, right Shantanu 🙂
Absolutely 😊🌸
Wonderful wordsmithing
Excellent work
Many thanks! I truly appreciate your kindness.
Very well done. Usually when it’s time for me to suggest that someone moves on and away I go with the simple “Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya”. Still, there’s the emptiness at the end.
Thank you so much Lloyd! Goodbyes are always hard, even when ending it is the best option.
