What a relief now that you are gone!
No, I'm not heartless. Never was.
Just got so tired and so bored...
Of going in circles.
Nails in a coffin,
Pounded in hard.
Forever!
Unwed...
Sigh.

Great imagery on this one, best of luck in the challenge Shirley!
This poem is so emotional!
Great one....something close
Few words but an impactful message. Nice work Shirley
Great nonet! A strong sense of disappointment definitely carries through in this
Everything happens for a reason. There is a reason getting married, and also getting divorsed lateron.
very good insights for moving on we shouldn't waste our precious moment for such idle people
So glad you are back with this powerful challenge entry, Shirley!
A lot of power in this, but I don't think these can be happy poems for anyone , I scared readers with mine
Ooooh, Shirley, you really brought the fire with this one. Love how this flowed! Well done!
Yes, some people just wanna keep us around but not get married. Loved your take on this!
