Twice Shy

I thought by now you'd have
'Got your mojo back'
But today I hear from a
mutual friend
that
You claim your tears
have still not dried
and your heart has yet to mend..

Forgive me my wry smile
Upon hearing this sad news
You see, when it was my heart
that was breaking
I didn't get to choose
or have a say
in the way our story was played
You walked away, content to let
A love so beautiful
Fade..

And now you're asking if I'm ok
How 'it'd be good, if we could catch up'
On this occasion, my handsome love
I'm afraid you're out of luck

It took me so long to free myself
Get back up, collect the pieces
Of my heart
which even now
Carries a pain which never ceases

I risked everything for you once
Put it all out on the line
And although I'll always love you
I won't do that
A second time.

Well said ✊

@MrAlex Thank you. Always feel better putting it down 😌

@Fly10 no problem 😊

@MrAlex Thank you-always feel better having written it down. And thanks for repost-always appreciated 😊😚

Sad, but beautifully written 😌

@Fly10 a wise decision made into verse me thinks 😺

@Jamtots Thank you πŸ˜”πŸ˜Œ

Ouch. That hurt I'd guess. Here's to the getting over and moving on

@Weirdwolf Have you ever seen the modern day Peter Pan? There's a part where Wendy has to repeat 'I do believe in fairies, I do believe in fairies'. Well it's a little like that...'It is the right decision, it IS the right decision' Say it often enough & I'll eventually believe..Thanks for repost 😘

@Fly10 I may well be the modern day Peter Pan! Not so much the never grow old bit, but certainly never never land, and a tick ticking crocodile 😳

@wolfie Thank you. I was moving on quite nicely...life always throws you a curveball though doesn't it? Little tests here & there when you least expect? Getting good at passing them now tho (& god knows it took long enough!)😌

@Weirdwolf Me too-as here I am running away from Hook again! See? Fairytale land not much different to real life after all. Best part is, I still get to write the ending 😌

@Fly10 I really enjoyed this. Kind of a "miss me when I'm gone" "up yours" "karma got ya" kind of a way. Mwah xxxxπŸ’™

@smellyfingers That's exactly it. I don't wish him any ill, but the song which mentions 'I'm the best thing you'll never have...I bet it sucks to be you right now..' spring to mind. Darned if it still pulls at the strings tho πŸ’“πŸ˜ž

@Fly10 totally felt it babe and relate once again!! "is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?" the Rollercoaster that is life is what makes us who we are. Live and learn or sink and burn. Btw I think your great 😘

@smellyfingers Oh (blushes) thank you-that really is quite lovely of you to say😊 And you're right re what shapes us. 'And if my heart be scarred & burned, the safer I, for all I've learned'. Thank you Dorothy Parker for that sound piece of advice 😌

@smellyfingers @Stablish Repost, as always, much appreciated 😚😌
