Tingle

if I tap the wound it tingles
she never really went away
she just changed form
so I live with a comfortable pain
just below the heart
creeps to the realm of the stomach
I keep it reserved at all times
the thought of her
still knots it
her string untied
mine resides in my clenched palm
eager to re attach.
I use it to hang my rose coloured spectacles from
-I dangle them
and hypnotise myself
that she was perfect.

A little gem of a poem Pete. So much said in so few lines.

A very sad one - she must have been very special - rose tinted glasses or no.

Hi Pete,
i've been there a few times. Rose tinted specs are well and truly off now though. :-)

Nice work. Hope your leg is healing well.
