When the Light Changed
a breakup love poem
I would have followed you into a black hole.
You became my North Star with one phrase:
“I love you.”
I trekked for miles in your steps…
worshipping your glow.
When the light changed,
I learned that you'd left me all
alone.

That opening line tugged at my heartstrings so hard! The love, the devotion! only for it to implode just as a black hole would! Wow!
Great work
Beautifully heartbreaking, loved the celestial theme so much :)
Your writing is making me believe God is a woman. This was incredible! 💌
The discovery is always so painful. Loved your Nonet, dear Red Partner!
Heartbreaking awww. You're the queen of nonets..
Such infatuation turned to dismay! Another excellent nonet, Gina!
Excellent treatise , enjoyed it
A n excellent nonet. I think "When the light changed" could easily be interpreted a couple of ways. I like that!
Hey, you have been writing such nonets for many times. Lovely!
☺️I like the line “worshipping your glow.” And then it changed as it sometimes does..their energy or enthusiasm.
