Just Jane Poet Rhyme

The Break

I watch you bend and break,
Giving me no room for escape.
The words that hang in the air
Are anything but good and fair.

How did it ever come to this?
We used to live in such splendid bliss.
I don’t know which is worse;
The silent treatment or a stream of curse.

My heart can take it no longer;
Always thought I’d only grow fonder.
But now we are at a stale mate,
And I see that mine will be a lonely fate.

As I turn from you and leave,
Heartache and pain cause me to grieve.
In time hopefully the wounds will heal,
Or maybe I’ll learn not to feel.

Lisa Ricci April 20, 2017 at 1:21 PM Hello Jane. This is the second entry I read of yours, thus allow me to say you have wonderful talent for poetry. Poetry is all about heart and soul not to mention the emotive element. This entry has that. It is always sad when a love fades. This was a pleasure to read. Well done entirely and completely. Just Jane April 24, 2017 at 5:01 AM Hi Lisa, I really appreciate your comments. Thank you for your time! So glad you enjoyed it!

Joanna Daniel April 9, 2017 at 9:14 AM A very sad heartfelt write, Jane, hope nobody has to pass through such intense pain:( Just Jane April 10, 2017 at 5:35 AM Unfortunately, it is only through the rain that we learn to appreciate the sun, is it not?
