Nemesis

Galloping through a rambled life With her spirit carried in a saddlebag Relishing the joy in her new voice Finally, the master of her own choice 'Let's sing songs and say poems' We chimed, way back then, huddled in Our beds, once in need of being friends Sadly along the way it ends Rough roads buried our childhood pleasures Excited now to share new found treasures Until she reminds that I could have, Should have, done better Subtle messages of what lacks or the things I should need, I fall down to skin my knees She'll stand amused to watch me bleed Then leave me alone to live my own dream

I'm looking through your old writes Karen, as you have not posted new in a while. I think we learn to ignore people like this, different strokes for different folks, but some just can't see it. very well thought out and written. Take care,Richard

So I see what you mean, dear. It's sad, but as Abdulha says here, you are better for her departure. Thanks for letting me know about this one. I enjoyed seeing it.

A sad pen you've pen, though your last stanza that stressed the solace you found in her departure brings the peace of mind you've found in pursuing what is best known to you as your best. I'm really happy for you. Well done Karen. Beautiful! ~AO
