Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
There would be much suffering in a bruised soul from a relationship gone wrong. Learning to meld together as a couple is difficult and to succeed, both have to be on the same page, and both must be willing to give 60% or more in adjusting. It is not an easy row to hoe.

You wrote it like you suffered this yourself. You sure got inside that man in a splendid way.
Comment from Mastery
Brilliant writing, Jim. From start to finish it is poetically beautiful, like here:
"I felt your soft touch, your warmth receding
creating doubts, I knew you were succeeding
I tired so, of the constant unfettered flack
my love songs refrain were not misleading
My soul is bruised."
"My soul is bruised." is key in this one.
Good job.

Smiling back my dear friend! Thank you
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Passing through, sometimes we are frightened by this idea that we are missing so much from what we could do. You have capture very well in the last stanza :"Silly how little I want to bemoan
or feel the need to cry out a groan
lamenting, I need to learn to abstain
from companionship when I create pain
accepting that it is my life I must own
Just passing through." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
When a relationship is not fundamentally working, it is best to move on. Life on one's own can be a challenge, but you find out what really makes you happy. A well rhymed write and I did see the meter improving here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Yvette something was stirred on my early morning sitting, the results are sometimes shocking as I write.
Comment from Becky Kern-Taylor
Beautiful but so sad. I hope this wasn't a true experience. If it was sorry for the anguish you went through. Relationships are difficult. If, or when, you finally find someone who makes things easier, scoop them up. I told all my kids, before you marry, make sure this is who you want to spend the rest of your life with. No divorces yet, thank God!

Sal. Thank you very much! This was a challenge for certain.
Comment from Beverly A McBride
My, this is a complicated meter! I so sympathize with the feeling expressed here. I'm such a dork! I feel this way after every failed attempt at trusting and losing. After a while, the deep hurt fades, and I find I'm willing to try again. Hopefully a bit smarter. This angst is a source of lots of life philosophy and writing. After all the failures, I still believe in love. And there's someone out there just for me. Don't lose hope. Do be skeptical until you aren't anymore. Then take the chance. Don't give up.
