Suffocation is how you described it and so,
I left, to give you the space to regroup,
Lining our empty life with stillness to
Enclose you while you got your thoughts together.
Now, you crave my return but the parries of battle start the
Cutting that can't be staunched by cotton wool's resistance, as soon as I
Enter the door, and the silence returns with the noise of our end.

Brilliant take on the challenge ✅. So sad: “ Suffocation is how you described it and so, I left, to give you the space to regroup,”🥺
Oh, I love that last line. Well done.
Powerful!!! Love it!!!💕❤️❤️
Sometimes, it's just too late. Loved your Acrostic!
Well that one certainly packs a punch!
Excellent entry, good luck 😂
Wow. That’s all I’ve got.
Your word choice is so powerful Rachel! It packs a punch, as always.
Ouch, a gut punch to an end best not begun. Skillful use of words there. Well written.
This is quite genius, Rachel, I loved it!
Silence as the noise of our end! Brilliant!
Oh my. That last line. Love this one!
THat last - the silence becoming the noise. Oh my.
Crikey, chum. Is this just an acrostic or a piece of art or both. Exqqqqqqqqqquisite wordings. Strong strong entry.
"The noise of our end...." what a splendidly descriptive way to denote an end of a relationship. Loved this haunting poem.
