Sympathy - In Black and White

Nothing is ever black and white, 

Definitely,
...I think.

Who am I to speak - zip it...
...
...for now. 

I'm not going to lose my head over it.

Well I won't
...but she just might.

Wrong guy.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 11/10/2016 5:00:00 PM A very thoughtfully gray poem, Carol. A thought provoking poem w/deep emotional truths. Excellent write. Much love and respect to you. Login to Reply Carol B. Date: 12/1/2016 4:16:00 PM Thanks Freddie :)

Chris Green Date: 11/8/2016 2:05:00 PM When I first read your title, being a pianist my first thought went to keys but quickly I found that was not on the right track. I can feel the sadness in this and the caring. But mostly the understanding and that is where most miss the mark (if I have this correct). Regardless, I really liked this Carol.
