Fight and flight
The moments after the moment of disappointment
Don't tell me to "be rea-son-a-ble"
We weren't meant to be seasonal.
You time-wasting, lust-chasing,
lie-making, heart-breaking,
bored-easily scum!
Go home to mum.
She'll have you
back - I'm
DONE.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Heartbreaking yet fabulously written!!!❤️❤️💕
Well now. Someone's pissed off. Love it!
A fun break up nonet (ironically) due to your zing bang, seemingly effortless wordplay. 😁 Top job!
This one doesn't hold back- a razor sharp and brilliantly worded piece!!
Wow! 😵💫That’s a brilliantly straight shooting Breakup Nonet!✅
This is a good one! Good luck!
Oh, well done!
I love it, it's so clear and absolute.
Ugh, this reminded me of my ex who's a Mommy’s Boy, lol. Loved your poem!
Rage filled and powerful!
Whew! The anger comes off this in waves! Every line packed a punch! Well done, Joe!
