Kitty - really great to see you back.. I have missed your poetry. This is not at all rusty by the way. It captures perfectly the heartbreak, emotion and conflict felt when someone is dealing with the end of a relationship. Anyone who has ever experienced a break up or in particular a seesaw relationship will be able to relate to this piece.

One of the things I have learnt with age is that heart ache is transient - whilst the pain can feel like the world is falling down at the time of a breakup - years later when you look back on your life - you barely remember anything about the people you once knew or loved in your life - they appear as shadows that sometimes pop up to tickle your memory but the emotions connected to them have long gone.
Much love and hugs Milly x

Kitty, it's great to see you back but I'm very sorry to read of your personal troubles.

Do take care
