A Long Pretence

A Long Pretence

After all this time,
it has
only just dawned
on me
I was never really
any different
from all the rest
was I ..
And now, of course,
there is no us
is there ..
Not even barely
a trace ..
Nor is there any point
or use
either of us pretending
otherwise,
is there now darling .. x

I do love how you capture a moment. Here there is the soft subtle decay of love, so gently letting go of an unsavoury situation the heart finds itself facing. I have said it before and I will say it again...your pen is mighty Neville as is your wonderful mind and spirit xΒ

Just a few words that you bring so alive with the message you wish to convey. Slightly aloof, a little bitter and so very matter of fact and mostly with a big...f.ck you in there somewhere. Love it Neville, you speak my kind of language but write it a zillion times better than I ever could x
