Bereft

I did the same thing that you did today
I took all your secrets and threw them away
Of the little there was of us nothing is left
I dust off my hands
And feel slightly
Bereft

Ooh ouch here. Bereft rhymes with theft I guess.

Ouch indeed. And weft. Weft is a good word. What is a warp without a weft? And stuff...

It's nearly impossible to have a relationship, then it dissolves, yes everyone should feel something. I think most would feel bereft, although I know a few who have felt elation:) I like your short verse, Gail:)

Thank you, Daniel. I need to grow a thicker skin, but where's the poetry in that? Best wishes to you.
