I idly sit and watch from my throne of inertia
While the bridges I so carefully built
Are thoroughly and systematically destroyed
And with them, the pathways are forever cut off,
Leaving one side of the shore isolated from the other
Except for the occasional stone you throw
Which lands harmlessly at my feet
It’s as if the tectonic plates have shifted beneath us
And earth itself has put me beyond your reach

Thanks, Beach. I keep a notebook of ideas. I’m an observer – and people watcher. You can tell a lot about a relationship by seeing the couple interact when they don’t know anyone is watching. Ok, now I sound like a creep! You know what I mean! Lol!

I know exactly what you mean. It’s kind of curse in some ways though. I can feel the angst or sadness or frustration, etc. I’ve got enough shit to deal with on my own. 😃

Yes, me too! Writing is a great way to vent some of that though.

This is very deep Meg. The images are stunning and I see a likeness here that makes me uncomfortable. I don’t think I have to tell you that that is not a “bad thing”. Writing should convey emotions which others find familiar…even less desirable ones. We share our experiences and our beliefs with the hopes that others can see we do not walk these roads alone.
This is very well done, Lady. Brava!

Thank you Eric. Though it’s not always pretty, as long as it makes you feel something then the objective is met. It’s good to know there are others walking the same path. 🙏

Sometimes the bridges burn, and other times it’s movement beneath us. Either way, it’s sad when it happens. Beautifully written, Meg! ❤

Thanks, Vic. Time and drift and even good things like growth can separate one person from another if both parties aren’t adaptable. Hope you are well. We must catch up soon!
