Another fine poem, Gypsy....and some people would choose to believe his words of the moment and stay, hoping somehow he changes. But a leopard can't change his spots, or at least without a lot of bleach!

Ouch! and more Ouch! The person you write about is a horrible person, who only thinks of themselves. The narrator in this poem needs to get as far away from this person as possible. Your poem is filled with heart ache. You did a wonderful job describing the pain.

Expressive. Hope it's fictional! If not, good riddance for sure. The emotional tenor is intense and effective. Good presentation too!

I love the AHA effect of the closing single word line ANYMORE...implying you realize you used to need 'love crumbs' but now you've transcended that need. 'Looking for our dying love' is great phrasing too.
Well done, dear.
Warmly,
rd

Clever use of powerful imagery and clarity and focus on word choices combined with the sharp, focused stanzas creates an outstanding poem indeed.
You have an amazing talent and I applaud you on this gift.
A pleasure to read and review.

That is so sad that people don't know how to nurture a relationship anymore and have to resort to using a text to break up instead of having a talk to discuss why.

    Yes, it's very sad. My ex asked me for a divorce in an email. We were both home.

    Thank you very much, big sister ❤️

    Love,

    How awful!! Did he do it so that he would have a paper trail? Sounds like he did it for legal reasons.

This is the most pathetic kind of love. When someone tries to keep you hanging on because they might need you later. It's all about them. No regard to the pain and confusion they cause. Loved the ending. Strong. Gretchen
