What do you mean "a break"

 

Your words caught me by surprise

delivered by a flying dove,

 

hit  me like an icy wind

blowing through the tunnel of love,   

 

what do you mean you want a break ?

“what’s  a break?”

You mean a cup of tea and a biscuit,

 

Id just mopped up

the other flood,

 

my door wide open,

never should’

have nailed  the Mistletoe up above,

but  a wounded cupid ain't a stud.

 

The words blew through my bones

like a didgeridoo,

using my body to play the tune,

 bounced around  inside my head     

destroying dreams my soul had fed,

“homes, kids, pets , the play,

the pretty clouds of yesterday,

now packed with water

black n grey,

they now  gathered to the fray,

the sleepless nights

 Im yet to feel,

make the word,

 sound so surreal,

A break   

a break ,

that sounds so fake,

So!

What DO you mean

“ you want a break?”

Aww

This is sad, great write and read, but sad. Breaking up can almost be one sided leaving the other very confused. I loved this reality poem. Puts one in perspective of something that occurs much too often. Well done , Love Lyz. XX

Dear Ray

I know what this is like though he didnt ask for a break , I seen a break and run for it, theres only so many times you can be belittled and abused ... but great write needs a little tidy up but other than that, awesome I can feel the pain and a little sarcasm in there as well the tea and biscuit line .. Sorry but I had to have a little laugh at that its something I might say kind regards love Jayne :)

hello Ray

As you say this is something we all can relate to as it either has happened or will happen. I've known my share of them and am on my third and final marriage. I like the word, "didgeridoo," but I don't know what it means. one tiny question, in this line: but a wounded cupid ant a stud. did you mean "and a stud?" Always, Cat

Like I said Cat I " ain't " no speller, (isn't) that one got past the goal , Thanks for pointing it out to, a Didgeridoo is a long piece of branch hollowed out and played by Aboriginal people , Thanks again
