A perfect snapshot of that crushing and dismal feeling of heartbreak and loss. Very cool take on the prompt.
thank you, Jennifer! ♥ i appreciate your visit and kind comment!
the poem captures the feeling of being alien to a language
fortunately, there usually aren’t many moments when we feel alien in the world but any event that shocks us enough can cause that feeling, don’t you think? thank you very much for your visit and comment, Lucy! ♥
ha..indeed…sometimes we don’t understand the world anymore…and need a patient translator…smiles
you nailed it, claudia ~ a patient translator! thank you so much for stopping by! ♥
…Excellent Dani…a sad painful little poem… this is what happens when one gives too much for the sake of love… But who’s to blame? people are people…and love is love… Sigh… smiles…
and the heart wants what the heart wants…. thank you so much, Kelvin! i really appreciate your visits and comments!
oh, nice…so strong the feeling…to make the world lose all understanding….esp instead of seeing them, it is in them walking away….that is a whole other feeling…nice dani
thank you, brian! you really are too kind!
What a creative way of fulfilling Fred’s ‘foreign language’ challenge! Smiles.
thank you, Mary! ♥ i’ve had a time or two when it seemed like i couldn’t understand anyone or anything.
Indeed, everything recedes and loses meaning ~ Good one Dani ~
Have a good day ~
thank you, Grace! ♥ it’s always lovely to see you!
How sad and poignant. Short, sweet and to the point. Brilliantly done!

When a relationship ends, it really does feel like no-one understands how much it hurts. You’ve captured that feeling fabulously well in so few words. Beautiful.
