a sadness envelops me whenever I reminisce beautiful memories of far off places promises made and gifts given wishes coming true but cruelly snatched away in a broken heartbeat happiness turned to tears at the snap of wicked fingers because he could I cry because I know now I was dancing with the devil
I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

Sorry to hear it, Christine. I was thinking of myself and my ex-SO 😦 If they had better pinpoint accuracy on lobotomies, I’d have one (only half kidding.) Maybe like that movie, Total Recall, they can call it Half Recall 😉 I actually think that was the plot of a Jim Carrey movie about eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (not sure that’s the exact title, but…)
This is so poignant ~ sadly it is always the sensitive, the thoughtful and the creative ones who attract negative people into their fold.. but .. like you said.. we have come to recognize them.
First a very good rhythm to your verse, making it so readable, but second, very cleverly/nicely done to delay that killer line right to the end, and buildup to it like that.

“it was the best of times, it was the worst of times” and never the two can be teased apart. It’s like a curse.

Well done, Christine. Sometimes we don’t realize the reality until hindsight brings it into focul.
