I once cared for you
And loved
And gave
As love gives
All that I had
And you gave in return
Your cold smile
And empty words
That promised nothing
But love
And now you have become
Nothing
But a bitter memory
there are some words that always carry maximum import in a certain poem...in this one the way you have used the word'nothing'....is the most impressive and pressing one...it brings home the finality of the bitter tragedy.
a good writer always likes how his write should be read and interpreted...the style of poem presentation is one way...here the style and lingua both are impressive, James...10
You are masterful at writing of the saddest and darkest things. This has to be read slowly and it seeps into the heart in the reading. Potent in the extreme. Fay.
