Unsayable Confusion

Sometimes it seems like a distant dream, and I half-wonder if she was a wild figment of my imagination, but faded photographs, now the only reminder, prove to me that the relationship was real, that she was real. Yet, we went from pure passion to stony silence; and, again, I question if things were ever that good between us, or if my memory is playing tricks, as Proust would probably argue? written 25 November for Nette's Unsayable contest

oh Jack, I know this one is true for you and I know it must have been horribly confusing for you. I really am happy to see that you have put up new poems and I think you did outstandingly with this one.

What a sad poem Jack and when a relationship is over memories are the only thing we have left and if we've been hurt then it could be the bad memories that linger on:-( great entry for the contest:-) good luck:-) hugs jan xx
