THIN SHADOW I am but a thin shadow The gray skies casting their gloomy dark eyes on me I reach for you my past light nightly Loneliness responding to me in echoes YOUR TOXIC GOOD LOVING Your words of love haunt me The betrayal even worse stinging my heart My heart begs for you to come back However toxic your good loving may be It misses your words Evilly spoken Cunningly timely My heart misses you Even when it knows you are untrue My heart begs for you to come back However toxic your good loving

The second one hits me in the heart. It’s funny how the heart and body can miss being treated like hell. Stupid love.
I tell you…stupid stupid love
.
But we sure can’t live without can we?
We sure can’t
I tell you…stupid stupid love
.
I especially like:
I reach for you my past light nightly
Loneliness responding to me in echoes
Well done, Boomie!

Thank you sir
I pray some day you may find ‘true’ love which is so much different than that!
Thank you

Thank you so much
Very lovely poems. Sometimes we really experience such in realities. We miss some things that we shouldn’t have even tried in the first place…
Humans, so full of emotions and fantacies.
I agree. Some things we shouldn’t have tried yet we miss…
I like the first one very much.
I’m very glad
. Thank you
[ Smiles ] Thanks for the double treat Boomie.
Nice poetry as always!
Thank you my friend always
So much desperation in the second one.
Thanks
Love the first one…:~)
I am glad. Thanks so much for stopping by
You’re such a gifted writer, I really love your poetry. They haunt but also comfort, are full of pain and suffering but also healing and redemptive without cliché. There is a rawness of emotion, a deep longing for harmony even when it’s derived from the dissonance of painful experiences. Thanks for sharing with us.
I am sincerely thankful for your kind comment.
Thank you so very very much. God bless!!!
That second one…wow!
This is what happens when the brain & the heart have minds of their own & don’t communicate…
Hmmmm! O ga-o!
oga ju lol
Tough love. But its so true. Beautiful poem.
