Gayle Rodd Poet Rhyme

Post Script To Sadness

I can’t live your addiction
 with you anymore
I just don’t know what I can believe
I’m afraid  that the last time
 you walk out my door
We’ll be saying goodbye when you leave

My heart, it just sinks 
when I know that you’ve gone
to the ones
 you consider your ‘friends’
So let go of my hand
you must walk this alone
I don’t think I can see you again.

Aniruddha Pathak October 6, 2018 at 12:33 AM The very caption of the poem is imaginative and forces you to read on, and what you read is heart-wrenching as someone said.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian May 2, 2018 at 2:28 PM Heart wrenching! Hope you don't mind my quoting..."Bad associations spoil good habits" 1Cor. 15:33 You say, " let go of MY hand"...so sad...when YOU are NEEDING to let go...saying "I don't THINK". tell's me you know what to do, just need help doing it... YOU have to let go of HIS HAND. If this is reality, not just a poem ,my heart goes out to you I am as near as "soup mail".bbn Gayle Rodd May 2, 2018 at 3:33 PM You're so right Barbara. I never thought of it like that.

Ronald A. Williams January 7, 2018 at 9:53 AM A very direct to the point heart felt type of letter.

James Marshall Goff November 22, 2017 at 7:02 PM Agree with reviews, Gayle...love the determination...

Ovidiu Bocsa September 27, 2017 at 11:12 AM Your poem seems a reply to a famous novel of Francoise Segan: Bonjour Tristess! You depicted with much talent a feeling as possible ”common recollections”, thus as general human experience, both poetical and kind of communication from soul to soul.

Neil Kruger September 19, 2017 at 3:28 PM you can't fight other people's battles for them. it will just drag you down.
