No More Lies. It's Time for Goodbye.
A breakup nonet
Don’t bother begging for forgiveness.
I don’t want to hear excuses.
I won’t listen to your lies,
close my ears to your sighs.
But I shall cherish
your bitter screams
until the
very
end.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Ha ha, Cathy! I love the ending, sort of karma or turning the tables on the power dynamics!
Ooooo!! That was a twist!! Love that ending "I shall cherish your bitter screams until the very end"... bone chilling!! Great work Cathy!!

This is great, but creepy! Why is he screaming?!
Oh yes! That ending. Get him! Love this!
The rancor at the poem’s end suggests that the lover getting the boot had screwed up many, many times before. Loved it, Cathy!

This has a bit of a horror twist at the end!
