out of that patio door
I watch the darkening sky
my mood just as stormy
mayhem that is us
flits through my mind
I solicit courage from the clouds
walk down to our room
engage myself in packing my things
your facade blocked out
with strong determination
I pause to take a breather
our photograph from the side table
engages my gaze
I am completely disarmed
trickling tears reinforce my resolve
"I know I will salvage myself from the wreckage"

Wreckage arrives so often. You'd think we'd learnt how to salvage it.
sometimes a relationship can't be salvaged but we women always try until the very end. well done. have a great day.
The strength in this shines through with your deft use of words. I really do enjoy your poetry so very much.
Your last line has the punch....Lovely
You have a gift. I'm glad you share it. Thanks for sharing this today.
i left it behind but it took me an eternity!
I love this because it's so very real. And raw.
you never fail.
I like the optimism at the end. Who needs men, anyway?!
'Salvage from the wreckage' - that says it all!
Nice one!
Strong and hopeful - silver lining in those dark clouds.
this is great.. I have been there before..
Love the hope and light at the end of the tunnel in this poignant piece. An emotional and evocative poem.
Nicely done. You really know how to capture the emotion of a moment.
Tugged my heartstrings, there. :(

Your work is always so inspirational to me!
There is strength and determination in this piece, as well as hope. Leaving a relationship is hard, but we can pick ourselves up and move on. A very well written poem.
beautiful! :)
Sometime I read your beautiful poetry and I want to say, "Are you okay?" That is how close it comes to my heart.

I really like this line. You capture the emotion well!
There is nothing so sad as a failed relationship. You bring this out so well, Gautami...
