But not any more


I cringe in a heap
Like wild wolf in pain
Cornered and wounded
Snarling at shadows

I feel small and weak
You've blighted my life
Cajoled and hurt me
Since you left me alone

Called me unkind names
Hurt by any means
Such was your practice
Of one close...now far

Oh how I loved you
You've gone forever
Except in my mind
O how I loved you

But not any more

  3. Triumphant last line, Robin. Smooth flowing writing.

  4. It does beg the question; just how long are we supposed to go on alone?

  5. Surely Robin: enough is enough. Your end line is simple and superb
