I recall her still


I recall her still
The velvet touch of her skin
She had such beauty

Her silvery words
Echoing in my poor heart
Voice clear as a bell

But what of her lips
A sweet bowl full of cherries
Ready to be kissed

She was so much fun
Oft curled safely on my lap
I was in heaven

What beauty she had
In a class all by herself
But it could not last

That her eyes were green
Warned me that she was jealous
But I was a fool

For those few months
She was the light of my life
Until she dropped me

"I'm busy tonight"
Those oily words of her deceit
Our romance over

  1. Ouch! Brutal. But it sounds as if you were well rid of her; it was going to happen. Just a matter of time.

  6. Oh the sadness of hearing those words, "I'm busy...." I bet most people have experienced this at some point in their life. Sigh.

  7. It is in the process of growing up and of being hurt! One gets out of it wiser!

  10. The fall from heaven.........so painful. And to be dismissed without concern for your feelings. Not very nice at all.

  11. Busted bubble, it is painful and we learn through it, become stronger for it, wiser in our choices and attachments. Good write.

  12. Although there is a serious to this one - I cannot help but hear a bit of giggle below the surface... "those oily words" ... Perhaps it is the relief I am hearing in the story of a green-eyed monster vanquished in time for a Halloween writing...

  19. Loved it - but while thinking in terms of personal challenge as has prompted my second bite at this same cherry, can you add another from her POV?

    1. I haven't asked her but "colourless and boring" or "no fun at all" come to mind!

    2. Ah well, they don't all have happy endings, do they?
