Good Faith

Here's a 33-word poem about "love gone wrong" - the theme for this week's Trifecta writing challenge. Oh, and I can't use the words: love, sad, tears, wept, heart, pain. I assume my use of the word "lover" is OK?

Arguably,
as I told Joe
(good friend)
I’d “give it (us)
a year”,

I was acting
with as much
good faith
as when you
told your lover
we’d be through
before
year’s 

end

  1. Awesome. No adjectives, very reserved language, yet the attitude here is thick and apparent.

  3. Ouch! Sometimes knowledge is overrated. Nicely done.

    [btw, this red on brown is kinda hard on the eyes]

  4. Sometimes it doesn't take more than that

  5. Whoa! Kinda makes you wonder why they don't just call it quits now, but I've known people who stay in relationships like this. Great piece!

  6. Yes, I've known people in these relationships too. I think a year is lofty. :-) Thanks for linking up.

  7. I like how both people put a timeline on it with someone else in their life.
