At My Best Bite Size No 68

In hospital after the crash, I lost my ability to walk.
He said he had to go. Last time I ever heard him talk.
Knowing this, I thought my loving heart would burst.
And now I know that if he can’t love me at my worst. 
Then he doesn’t deserve me when I am at my best.
My predicament had sadly put him to the test.

Gary Radice Date: 7/14/2023 10:04:00 PM This is very profound as it is sad SV. As a nurse working in the field of brain injury I witnessed im my time several such scenarios. Life circumstances change affecting relationships. I watched several partners slip slowly away from visiting over time. Life can be so cruel sometimes. Your poem and its message powerfully hits the mark. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 7/15/2023 5:22:00 AM Thank you Gary. I like to write about truth. Some times not pretty and sometimes not fair, but there is usually a message there. Your comments are most welcomed. Take care my friend. Sending you my best wishes.... SV

Valsa George Date: 7/11/2023 11:56:00 PM One who deserts us in times of need and in brokeness is to be seen as insincere. Such a person doesn't deserves our love when we are in our best. Great poem dear SV Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 7/12/2023 4:14:00 AM Thanks Valsa. It sadly happens a lot. Injured patients waiting for people that they're in a new relationship with, waiting for that person to visit and they just don't show up. A one sided love. Thank you for your comment sweet Valsa.
