Title: Oh no, I sent her a poem Post by: kc sunshine on June 05, 2016, 06:26:39 PM This one:
A happy ending of sorts My love in someone else’s arms Me gliding through the warm waters at midnight, free Frenzied young fireflies exploding in the trees like fireworks, Millions of them Steady glowing stars—even more of them—watching them Like calm older siblings from above And the smell! Wild rose, intoxicating and invasive, Delicious even though I know It spells disaster Like her perfume on you When you’d come home to me There was a moment went I thought I lost my friend on the dark lake But I called for her and she was still there The night safe again, a way home sure If unknown Why did I do it? No word from her. Gang, if you are contemplating sending your ex, don't do it-- a 10 on the richter scale of anxiety!

Things like this may not be the best conversation starter in a strained relationship. It's deep and emotional. Light and easy (nonthreatening) usually is a better probe. An non-response is a non-response, but it was read and it likely landed to some extent - just not enough to elicit a response.

I was able to let it be and move to lighter banter, phew, in a way that bodes well for friendship. Fingers crossed.
