Excellent use of the homographic pair. Oh yes….sometimes it is best to simply leave the room, the situation, walk away to protect ourselves from the coming hurt. A very good write for the prompt!
well I recently wrote a poem about a divorced man, and that was totally spontaneous – I’ve never been divorced, and I hope not to be!

I think that’s wonderful as many can relate to your words whether you were divorced or not. Who m it’s where our words come from sometimes. It’s like we are channeling someone else ☺️
This was awesome! I loved it! <3
Thank you so much ☺️💕🌺
The words and wounds are painful. Escaping may be the best outcome.
Have a good weekend.
Thank you Grace. Escape cannot come soon enough for some. Have a good weekend too!💝
This sounds so toxic… better to leave
Yes, she should 😕
This is gorgeously poignant. I agree, it’s better to leave before one is about to snap.. too much negativity can take a toll on the mind. 💝💝
Yes it does Sanaa. I need to get away from this depressing poetry! ☺️
It sounds like you made good your escape just in time! Being around a person who rubs salt into wounds is toxic.
Great Quadrille, Christine ~~~~~
Thank you Helen ☺️💕
Thank you so much Helen ☺️
I’m glad she left. I could feel her about to snap!
Yes Merril 😳 it might not have been pretty 😦 Thanks for reading ☺️💕
You’re very welcome!😀

Thank you Lillian ☺️
Very descriptive and to the point- and relatable to me on a personal level!
Thank you Markie. It is too familiar to many of us, sadly 😢
😔 Christine 😔
I seem to be writing a lot of sad poems lately don’t I ? 😞 oh dear 😕
yeah – I’ve picked up on that trend…
It happens to all of us I guess. Need to get out in nature for some inspiration ☺️ 🌞 ⛅️ 🌳🦅

Painful
Thank you! ☺️
Very evocative poem Christine
Thank you my dear Sadje ☺️💕
You’re welcome 😉
Beautiful poem 🙂
Thank you! ☺️
I’m glad she made the choice to leave. There would never be a happy ending, but at least she’s alive and able to begin again…
Thanks Lisa. She has choices ☺️
🙂
Good response to this prompt. “Nerves tightly wound” and “salt in a wound” certainly work together in this poem. Painful.
Thank you Susan ☺️
Very well done Christine. Living with nerves wound tight is not way to live.
This is very well done! A poem of wisdom!
Thank you so much Dwight. This woman knows what to do! ☺️
Yes for sure!
Oh my this poem stings. Nicely done.
Thanks Maria ☺️
