Learn It Well Comments

This is a brave poem, but I don't think you want to be praised for being brave, because you place your faith in something which transcends human action, namely, the belief that LOVE DOES NOT END. And we have to understand that to mean TRUE LOVE, not just some passing fancy, or momentary passion, but the WHOLE SHEBANG - the kind of love Shakespeare celebrates in (some of) his Sonnets: Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediment (Sonnet 116) . You are telling the lover who is abandoning the relationship that it's not over, that he is willfully blind to the truth, that he has lost his connection BUT IT STILL THRIVES inside him. And you show this in the touching scene of one lover comforting the other, and declaring these roles are interchangeable. Wow! That's the truth of human love.

Dear poets, thank you all so much for reading!

One of your best yet. This deserves a second read when I have more time so I will :)

Gale....Your poem is so good though it is smeared with sadness. Betrayal follows us as our own shadow....We have to choose whether to face it or not....Well written.10/10

A very nice poem full of sadness, though. Yes, life is not fair, but this is the way it is! Betrayed by the people you trusted!

A nice and very sad but hopeful poem. Well done.

Nicely put Galina. This seems a sort of cathartic poem. None of us are made of stone, despite what others may say or do to us. And yes, life is not fair, but we must go on, with or without the important people in our life. I too like your imagery of falling out of a plane, wings of no help, and useless white cloth. The final stanza indicates the speakers strength...maybe not a stone, but as strong as any...well done.

Falling out! With the muse of life, love and pain. Thanks for sharing.
