it was over from the day we met
and everyone knew it but me
I almost wanted to try
beg you not to love her
but you do love her
so shove me out
send me down
bleak creek
dead

Very somber and painful! Great nonet!
The stark honesty and emotional depth in these lines resonate with profound sadness and acceptance, excellent work, thank you for sharing!
The pain is expressed so vividly through your Nonet, Angela. Powerful!
Gosh, begging him not to love her hit me so hard! Loved your Nonet!
Love your title. Can definitely feel that bleakness and disappointment about lost love. Great stuff.
I feel the disappointment there! I like the way you conveyed bleakness as well. Wonderful addition to the nonet challenge!
Oh that is somewhat tough. Really sad one!
Phew! Not a creek I would want to visit! Good one, Angela!
