Lost In Wonder (Naga-Uta)

Desolate,once more
Thinking of what could have been;
Where did I go wrong?
Was there more I should have done!
Three words left unsaid-
The arrogance of male pride,
Shackle emotions..inside

Those three words that we are sometimes so afraid to say as our ego gets in the way. You have expressed the arrogance of the female pride as well. Sensational writing as always, Brian. lainie

You capture the male ego in all of its frailty. Good one. Regards Heidie

That stubborn male pride at such a cost. A lesson many have to learn. Sad, emotional and so well written. Love, Shar

I agree, such a sad write, presented so clearly. Shouldn't the first line have 5 lines in order to conform to the style? However, still an excellent write. Michael
