Chicanery

Such behavior belongs to foolish people who have neither soul nor God. God is love, and compassion and respect are essential for a healthy relationship and family to exist. :)

Sorry, but this made me chuckle more than being aghast! "I only wanted your kitty!?" Priceless! 💜😆

Been there, done that! It sucks to be led on by someone. Too many people like to play games in relationships.

I can really feel the painful confusion of being strung along. I've been there before!

It's an expression of misunderstanding, expectation, and the often painful relationships of today. The back-and-forth nature of the dialogue clearly expresses the emotional pain and disillusionment that results when feeling isn't matched. 🐣

I totally left my body while I was reading this. I became completely unaware of myself and I became her. I know what it feels like to give your heart and you don't know what you're going to get back. It's a special kind of scary that feels joyous and terrifying at the same time. Unfortunately, I usually believe what I'm getting back is exactly what I wanted because I have goggles that filter information that way. However when I'm wrong it makes it hurt all the more. I had a friend with benefits. We were insatiable but I didn't love her. Not one tiny bit. Except now it's a million years later and I think about her all the time so who do I think I'm kidding? This is such a beautiful thing that you wrote Dharrsheena. I'm so glad I joined Vocal so I could realize what a fantastic writer you are. I read an awful lot of poetry and this isn't just flattery. You are truly a wonderful writer. I'm looking forward to slowly going over all of your work. If you've got any scary shit in there, I hope you warn me. I'm very prone to being bipolar. When I aligned the dark side of my bipolar with my PTSD – watch out man, I got me a hot rod. I'm liable to see your scary shit as a competition, .LOL

What can I say I love your writings fabulous ♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️✍️

Hi Dhar - I've been down for a few months - forgot to get my vaccination for 'Old Age' - but I've always enjoyed your 'ecletic' unique stories; especially this one: I'm a bit old-fashioned with most of the 'Thinking' re; Blaise' "Friends with Benefits" A Favor: I know that you are a super follower of our Rachel; I see your thoughtful comments all the time. Please leave a comment on her 'Ode to Rachel Deeming' Post. The year-long writings are so impressive. I know she would appreciate the gesture from you. Thank you, - Jk.in.l.a.

F*ck !!!! This is so good. So honest and so raw in emotion. It’s definitely stirring lingering pain in my heart! (Which to be clear, is a good thing! I don’t want to hold onto it… I want it all out my body!!)

Wow, just real and so raw.

I decided to read this one again and I really felt it I don't know if I said that before or not.

This was so good. So real. I love it.

Wow, this is powerfully told and heart wrenching.

When I read your work there is no ‘half-way-point’ because you leave me no choice but to be fully engaged. Deception? Very relatable indeed. But your dialogue format increased the emotional impact. ‘Please stop hurting me. Don’t be so cruel.’ ‘Hey, you started this. Now, who's the fool?’ Pauline ♥️

that's a good one

The poem's conversational structure starkly exposes the harsh reality of unreciprocated feelings and the painful clarity of being just an option in a relationship.

Now I know you don't write until the words are aching to come out, I feel drunk by your words, hurt by it as if I was the main character —goosebumps. This reads like a play, one is delusional and the other is disgustingly deceitful. It's almost as if they still belong together, maybe someday the tables will turn. Exceeds any expectation I could ever have. Very well done to you.

Bravo well done!

so pure

I love this dynamic. You are very talented.

Well done and very true about relationships. Great poem.

This was so real and hardcore complete truth. The way you put your words together I so want to read more!

Ah, yes....but sometimes we fool ourselves and see what we want to see. I loved how you used the question and answer dialogue....fully engaging and brilliant.

Wow this hit home! I loved how your mind portrays the brutal truth of an otherworldly yet realistic day to day. And with a fun twist of dark humor for the readers. Can I ask on stories like this where do you get your ideas to write these? Not only that courage.. I got interwriting for this reason.Yet find myself shying or scaring away from the deep shit. I know I'll get there but I've been doing it a while now and it just seems Li.Can't. Get what I want when I actually sit down and write.But the idea is that come before that are amazing.It frustrates myself

I love your story so much
