NOT A KiNG

REALLY, i DiDN'T KNOW
THiS FOUR-LETTER THiNG
WAS MORE COMPLEX THAN PUTTiNG ON A RiNG
UNDER THiS BROKEN FRiENDSHiP'S BURDEN I HAVE TO BOW
i REALLY DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO HANDLE THiS DiSTRESS LiKE A KiNG
NOT A KiNG, A QUEEN, WHATEVER, i FEEL iT STiNG
LOVE iS BROKEN, AND i SiNK DEEP DOWN BELOW
 
MAYBE, FAR AWAY AND WiTH TiME
WE WiLL BE READY TO REACH OUT
FORGiViNG AND ABLE TO SEE BEHiND THE CRiME
HOPEFULLY, WE WiLL LEAVE BEHiND ALL DOUBT
AND PATiENCE WiLL LEAD TO A NEWFOUND RHYME, ENTWiNED
A CAREFUL APPROACH iS NEEDED — LiGHT, NOT LOUD

    David, thank you! Yes, it isn’t easy to get back lost trust. To know how much to open up again is quiet the struggle.

    Svenja, I love how you captured the complexity of relationships in this poem—your words really resonate with the struggle and hope for healing!

    Great response to the prompt! You capture the negative feelings of friendships and love lost.

      Feeling it firsthand and realising there are really more than one form of love out there was/is a bitter realisation. But hope is so strong, I believe in it.
