Silent and Bittersweet Goodbye
An acrostic and almost nonet reply to poppy’s prompt and the silence challenge
Sugar coated insults paved the way
Intricate as origami
Life's not fair is what they say
Except I once had you
Nestled in my palm
Can't believe how
Eager you were to fly away

A bittersweet reflection on lost love, where delicate moments unravel as hurtful truths emerge, leaving only the ache of departure.

Oh this is gorgeous and heartwrenching, start to finish. 'Except I once had you Nestled in my palm' Was such a gut punch and the ending was so perfect but sad.
Gosh this was so heartbreaking! Loved your poem!
