Are You the First To Be An Ex

There are some colours that can never be repainted, marks that can never be removed and stains that can never be covered. Move on! My past loved one, don't hold unto my shoulders as though nature formed us together. We've once crossed that bridge but even before reaching its middle we had crashed into the river and were swallowed by the rocks of its depth. Do you remember, at first we built a garden coloured in trust and grassed with unbelievable care? But we converted it into an Oven where love and hate mix and our problems; I'm the only one trying to fix. Unfortunate episodes of our heated drama was already counting at thirty and six. The beautiful songs of our hearts we remix as sadness and anger feasts. Why shouldn't I leave and prevent my heart from an avoidable accident? But you stick around only to suffer from self torture. My new and bright countenance makes you wanna have sex with other male colleagues, I flex. It's barely two weeks that makes you perplexed well; it's your problem b'cos I'm not bothered if you're vexed. Are you the first to be an ex? Just move on, my dear past lover! It will be the height of folly and the worship of loneliness if you visit our world again.

Have you ever heard "He was made that way."? You were just a victim of false identity. Someone who refused to come out of the closest until he thought it was finally safe. Holding you was probably a burden. That he wwithstood for your sake only. Let him be free without animosity. You'll be friends. Though it wasn't death that took him away. Because fate has away of doing things to put us where we are meant to be.

Oh, not an easy topic to write about, Funom, but you've done an excellent job! These little quirps like; "don't hold unto my shoulders as though nature formed us together", feel like tension breaks. If something feels critically wrong and irreparable; a fallout/break up might be the best for all concerned. Keep well! Mikki.

The divorce rate these days is as high as 70%, which is more than two out of every three. Couples often make perfunctory choices for a significant other. Interesting write.
