Brushstrokes
You never spoke in honest specifics
Said little … at least to me
You claimed … actually, almost nothing
From my perspective it was an easy way out
Cowardice
And such a disservice to the “us” we’d built
‘Least that is how I remember
I’ll never know how your mind spun
You only wanted openness in everyone else

Footnote: For my poetry challenge from Jodi (Paisley) on a memory I share with someone else who holds a different perspective of that event. Again, a bit of a twist on my part.

oh i am thrilled with the outcome... i do so love the precision with which you choose your words.. i am often lengthy and drawn out,, painting too much picture,, and not leaving enough to the readers imagination....

i chose to work with the same topic in my post today on ...why paisley???

There is a palpable loneliness in this one, Scott. It's a great piece.
