Numbing

this is the poem i was referring to earlier! I like how it begins with a question. It's sometimes shocking to see how easy it is for some people to walk away when they feel like it! and that's the image i got when i started reading it.

I think this is one poem I can so easily relate to. It is put together so well and the ending is the perfect statement of how other people turn on and off love like light switches. great structure. great pace love this read.

I love how you made me see the effortlessness of some people to walk away from a relationship, is easy as wiping of a counter top. I don't believe I have ever experience this, but I definitely felt the pain and anger one can get from it in this most excellent write! thanks, Eddie "do like the once barren tree: flourish and like the planted seed: rise" Jose De Diego

Nice write, beautifully written. True, love is never that easy to walk away from. Though some makes it seems like a piece of cake. Respectfully Yours, Barbara

I don't know how some people can just up and walk away from a relationship and all that was once shared with a person that they loved. This poem flows effortlessly, like it just rolled off your pen. My favorite lines are: Well… not for me, in my practiced dark uncertainty… I’m still searching. Always, Cat

Though I have not experience walking away so easily, I am going through a breakup. Neither wanted to just walk away, so after years of mental abuse he hit, first CDV offense, I call police, he got a lawyer and ask for Jury trial. Now a two to three years unnecessary stalling tactic. All he had to do was just go and pay like everybody else. He tried to get me to leave with his mental abuse. I wrote poetry and endured until he decided a hard slapped would end it all in court. oh well. I not numb yet :) ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara

There,s no sarcasm on this page. oh I guess there is,Ouch. thats the way out your headed the right direction, wonderful poem I really liked the dryness, from start, to finish, you seem to catch the essence of characters, who star in these, life like scenarios. say a narrator on lithium. any way it is shear perfection, sad life changing, heart dripping,loveless retreat and if true , my hearts with you.

You have lost ur smile in this one. Hits the heart of many, I think we have all been there at sometime in our lives, and yea, how can some find it easy to just walk away. I really enjoyed this, it made me a little angry yet also a little sad. Boy, you know how to get to a girl. Love Lyz XX
