One Word

Posted on June 27, 2013 by

One word
Spoken in the hush
As evening falls

One kiss
Light on a cheek
In shadows

One promise
Broken before
It is made

One heart
Split at the core
Bereft

One word
Too quiet to hear
All is lost

    And that word is ‘Bugger’. (Well, actually it’s probably not, but the alternative wouldn’t have been suitable for publication.)

    I really didn’t want to read this tonight, but I think I was meant to read it! I just wrote one about how his one word makes me ponder going back. Yours reminds me that I shouldn’t. Thank you for writing this…even though I didn’t want to read it! lol

    This lyrical parquet of well-chosen, economical words forms an image that outshines the gravity of heartbreak. So good.
