The Cheek of It!
For the Breakup Nonet Challenge
He said, in his future, he could see
Great things coming. The job, the house
And the crowning family,
But not for us. Someone
Else to make his we.
So I left him.
Who is he
to dump
Me?

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

I love the feel of this nonet when read aloud, very well done Hannah!! Sidebar: The title of this piece made me think of a saying my brother uses... when he dislikes something he say "this is cheeks"... and I don't think he means the face kind. 😅 Anyway, the thought made me smile and I thought I'd share it!
Nice thread of rhyme in this, gave it a nice bite at the end! Well done, Hannah!
I'm cheering for her.
Excellent story development.
But not for us. That is the point.
The ending lines reflect a sense of empowerment and questioning of the partner's authority to end the relationship. Loved this, Hannah! 💌
The unmitigated gall! Good on her.
It has always amazed me that people in a relationship will actually say such things out loud, as if their partner is invisible, a nothing. Well done, Hannah, as per always!
Who is he, indeed! ☺
Good for you, for the courage and the attitude to leave. You deserve a better guy.
Liberties taker! This is so good, Ms Bannah!(erm....yep...keeping that there. sue me.) I love the attitude of it and how truthful it is undoubtedly to many people.
You have every right ✅ to leave dear . Excellent piece
Great entry!!! Great work as always. I just subscribed to you!!
Ewww, who does he think he is? So right of her to leave him!
