Gone For Good

Almost anything that's broken or ripped can be fixed and mended But certain fragile things just can't do at all Like a broken glass Shattering into fragments Impossible to glue back Gone for good So no No money can fix love Your cheating heart won't make you whole Save your empty sorry words and be gone Impossible you said You can fix it you promised But reality appeared you realized All is gone for good Smile Akkina R Downing 6-6-17

Kina, my lovely friend, what an deep and spirited self-empowering poem. I love how you compared a shattered glass, irreparable, to the fragility of love, broken trust, broken heart.. I like the sassy, independent feeling voiced in your poem; when enough was enough you said 'Save your empty sorry words and be gone' - and 'reality appeared you realized all is gone for good' - You go girl!! An excellent, beautifully expressed write my talented friend. Lots of hugs and love.. ~Susan

Good evening Kina what are amazing Poem I love the way you were over in the broken glass with the shards of a broken heart. It is so true money can't fix love, once love is broken it's very hard to repair sometimes almost impossible just like the broken glass. A truthful poem my sweet soup friend. Hugs to you xx :)"

It's strange how something that in the beginning feels so deep and important ends up being shallow and insignificant. This piece displays resilience and spirit. In the end you define your own significance.

Cool, strong poem, Akkina. Love the message of zero tolerance for emotional indifference. This heavy poem got sass and verve, delivered by a sista w/a lot of diamond nerve. Super cool poem. Love always.

Good men come a dime a dozen. If this one isn't any good, then you should have no trouble finding one that will do you justice. Good write.

Very well said, Akkina! Some things are irreparable. Love can be strong, but it can also be fragile...once it breaks it's beyond restoration. That ending word shows that a bad experience can be overcome; time to move on! ~ Regards // paul

Sigh, to try to fix broken love when the only glue offered is empty sorrys. Nope, that just won't do it. Loved this Kina, made me sad for a bit but the smile at the end tells me that this heart has been fixed and is whole and happy again.

I like how you ended this with "smile." It was contagious! And I know you meant save instead of safe! We all make these little typos hear and their! Haha. Couldn't resist myself! Keep on smiling, Akkina
