Notes About The Poem

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.

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

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

A helping person in need is the best friend indeed. Others come and go, get forgotten. Great poem.

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

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.
