I tried to connect the parts
The words were fractured
In splinters at my feet
I stooped to see what?
Could I be salvaged?
No.
Lost.
Gone.
Miss you.
A day off
The words being fractured
An argument
Friends fed up
Constant whinging
Should know better
Retreat
Hide
Sleep.
Standing on the precipice
The words are fractured
Little cohesion
Thoughts are random
Incoherent drivel
Quit
You’re ahead
Hibernate
It’s folly.
Fronting my reality
The word is fractured
Sorry is worthless
I want to reach out?
Will you answer?
I wonder
Too late?
Please?

The words go very well with the picture at the start. I can feel the wind blowing – a lazy wind that goes through you rather than around you.
Thanks Lyn, I am pleased you could see that in this poem. Thanks for the comment.
Powerful Michael you can really feel the internal struggle in this poem
Thank you Yves, I am happy that you saw that.
the first 3 lines – Michael – I adore..especially ‘in splinters around my feet’… oh my friend you are proving yourself as a writer more each day – be proud, stand tall, I so loved this. 🙂
Thank you Jenny you are very generous and i am very happy you enjoyed this piece.
most welcome my friend
Okay, last post then I’ll snooze…love this…I can feel the struggle and love so many words you chose…I can picture the turmoil…hear the internal voice in fractured words…great, Michael!
Thank you Oliana that is the loveliest comment. You flatter me but I am happy you saw those things in my poem, thank you so much…Now sleep!!
A sad tale today
Thank you Anja. Reflective of my state of mind. Will be more positive tomorrow..maybe….
We have all been here and the estrangement of a true friend is a terrible loss. While I hope this is not a current reality for you, you remind us in the end that there is hope and “please” is a powerful word indeed, a reminder of all that has been shared in the relationship.
Thank you gimpet, I would agree with you about the word ‘please’ it does carry a powerful reminder. Thank you again for your comment.
I feel the loneliness in this poem. Very well done.
Thanks Kim I appreciate your comment.
Always welcome.
Thank you, I hope you are doing well today.
Yes Fallen behind on reading but I’m good. Hope you’re well also.
I’m fine thanks Kim, just home after some remedial massage I hope the pain will be worth it…
In a day or so. Sometimes the treatments cause discomfort before the relief. That’s how it was when I was doing therapy. 🙂 But massage sounds good.
It works for me, tomorrow I will be better, though even now I am feeling good. Though some muscles just don’t like being manipulated…..pain…pain….pai.
I know how it is. 🙂
I like how you structured the poem. It shows the feel of the flow in the words.
Thanks RoSy, thanks for the comment.
Ok – Glad you got the gist of what I meant. Sometimes I don’t understand myself – but – I know what I want to say. Have you noticed? LOL
Loud and clear…lol
