He did it when he
said “We can’t
do this anymore.”
I realized sometimes
a cigar is really just a cigar,
and though he was
the one to apologize,
I was the one left
feeling ashamed
for the things we
never did.
This week’s gargleblaster question: Who Dunnit?
This is wonderful take on the prompt. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Past relationships have been my gargleblaster theme so far.
DeleteGreat approach to the prompt. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteThanks! A little sad, yes, but ultimately for the best.
DeleteI like the part about how he apologized but she was left feeling ashamed.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Strange how that works, but it happens!
DeleteAhh, the things we never do. It would take me reams of paper to write about those - you did it with 42 words.
ReplyDeleteHaha, well I could've gone on longer, but it's good I had a limit.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. I especially love this:
He did it when he
said “We can’t
do this anymore.”
