'so, ye talk to me because ye feel guilty?'
i querried,
alredy dreading the answer,
but knowing instintivly
that this was what needed to happen
'yes, but that's not all...'
and t'was all i needed
i aged then
och, t'wasna as if my hair
turned grey,
(truth be told...
'tis still blue and purple)
no, 'twasna that kind of ageing
but an ageing of understanding
and i felt old
old wi' the knowledge
that we had been broken
i had been broken
irraparably
and the last echo
of that wee lass
danceing away
giggleing
aye
i said goodbye
to more then ye that day
and replaced the hollow
empty place
wi' reason,
and what made sence
necessity
and made it real,
wi' a marriage
'yes, but do you love him?'
ye would ask
'well, no, but... it works'
'tis the perfect metaphore
for this new stage
i miss so much
and there isna any colour
but... it works
and mayhap, i will find
a different happy

Quite the piece...I'm glad to see you're still writing, although the subject does seem a bit close to home. I've never understood why one has to say good-bye...the few regrets I have in my life are all based around the good-byes I've made.
Keep in touch.... -
reminds me of someone I used to know, that prefers life a confusing mystery, I could handy living with mystery, never could figure out how she managed so well, ah well every person is different.
The poem had a free yet balanced feel to it, full a mixture of emotions, anda relaxed feel throughout, the flow was easy to read, well thought out and composed, a joy to have the privilage to read.

I love this! It's beautifully written, with a lyrical, graceful feel. The emotions you put forth in this piece are so carefully, so 'fittingly' expressed. And the ending was absolutely perfect.
"'yes, but do you love him?'
ye would ask
'well, no, but... it works'"
That had to have been my favorite part. It was just, somehow, so fitting of the rest of the piece and absolutely perfect right there... 'it works' indeed!
