It’s time to go,
My instincts tell me so,
I will be out of town,
I won’t be able to answer your phone.
^ ^
When love comes to an end,
Time to bid farewell, my friend.
My will is strong,
I must be left alone!
^ ^
Stop the unrealistic expectation,
Nobody will believe your exaggeration.
Please don’t ask why,
It’s time to say GOODBYE!

Blue Monday at Smiling Sally
PS: This is 100% fiction, I realize that when people read my work, they take it personally at times, if I wrote about sweet hot love, they relate it to me personally, question me, if I write about broken heart, they again have concern on me…I am happily married and enjoy life as it is, i write about all kinds of emotions and experiences, this poem has NOTHING to do with my individual life. Thanks a ton.
Everyone is encouraged to write a poem about love or romance, link to Jingle poetry…xxx
Glad you provided the clarification at the end or I would have been really worried about you!
Poetry is a soulful expression. It is not necessary to add a disclamer but to each his or her own. I liked the expression.
Sometimes goodbye is all that needs to be said. Good poem.
Ha ha Jingle, that is true that we are not able to separate fact from fiction, because your words feel so real, like this strong goodbye! Love it!
I must admit I have that situation all the time with people extending me sympathies and such. It is a lovely poem, so it’s a compliment that people assume the feelings must be from your own life.

Thank you for the author’s disclaimer! Ha! I am glad to hear that. Cute poem of exit, good-bye, must fly, oh my! You say it so sweetly, so neatly. Blessings…
glad to read this is NOT you! Nicely written, but so sad to fly away.
I love it…good thing you added a disclaimer!
The sadness of your words do pull well on the reader… I can see why others would assume anything you write must be first hand experience. I too get this at times.
Ah yes I’m also glad you provided the tag at the end….very good reading poem.
Short and sweet.
Hey when love is done it’s done…nice write.
OH I love this one….brilliant;)
wonderful expression of love gone wrong. great work!
The pic at the top suits the poem quite well…great job!
Great poem, Ji! And I completely understand the need to clarify. Good for you.
Jazzy shoes. I just love them … and covet them!
They’re rather like Amanda’s red shoes. Will you go dancing in them?
Glad it’s just a poem– the opposite of romance!
Heh, far too amusing that people think that these offerings mean you are having issues. This IS a heartfelt piece that might concern people but in the end, that is why it is so great to write, to make people feel something. Thanks for sharing, Jingle!
Beautiful thoughts, nicely textured.

I am glad you did the tag at the end too my friend xxx Great one x
Lovely images and words! Good to know that is only fiction! Happy Monday Ji!
Love the attitude in this poem
This is too romantic Ji.. Loved your take..
–Someone Is Special–
I enjoyed the harsh reality to the sadness in this piece…more or less like “thanks but no thanks”…nice one, Ji.
P.s as promised, my friend is in for Potluck with the user name “Michael Ogungbesan”
told him the requirements already….looking forward to his acceptance into the community…thanks for your all round support.
Cheers!
Very well put, and a departure with an air of dignity. Loved it Jingle.
Wow!! Wonderful post.
ANOTHER SAD STORY, TIME TO MOVE ON!!!!!!
Thanks for the disclaimer.. LOLsss actually, you should always stick a note there.. I have observed most of us do non- fiction so it would be nice to mention the exception..
Very touchy poem Ji.. errrr.. could I please borrow those blue one? They are like any jewels!!
Loads of Love xxx
Wow!!! Great work. Lovely poem Jingle.
Wonderful words, great thoughts^^~
i think i also do that, i spend a few seconds thinking if you are sad or happy. the only diff is i dont ask the question, unless its really sad.
lots of love.
Very inovatif jingle, pretty nice
Wow..this is so beautifully written..
“Please don’t ask why…
It’s time to say GOODBYE”

poety poety poem- nice ji..
A bittersweet delight! Glad it wasn’t based on your reality, thanks for the thoroughly enjoyable read!
with the changing seasons in our lives come the changing patterns in our relationships as well. there’s always a good reason why some people who are with us now don’t make it to our future. we just have to learn to let go. this was a thought-provoking piece, jingle. the annotation below your poem made a lot of us heave a sigh of relief.
I realize that a person’s work may not be relevant to their current situation, but that doesn’t make it any less true – often they’re more factual than fictional, just in a historical sense. (I think we all purge old demons this way) Nice piece, Jingle.
Great poem — I love the rhythm and rhyme.
I love that fancy smancy blue shoe!
Happy Blue Monday!
Great poem! It’s nice to know people care…I find that because I write mostly nonfiction that when I write fiction people assume it’s true, too.
Nice Poem Jingle. I thought it was real until I read what you wrote.
thanks for sharing
Such a lovely picture and poem. Love the blue heels. Happy Blue Monday.
Aww, love that’s come to an end. Well written my friend!
You said it like an artist…You said it well
Strong and soulful. And don’t worry… I know, if people believed 100% of what I wrote, I’d be a pretty hard girl to pin down.
Are the shoes your own, though? Ha ha. Loved it, Jingle! Amy BL
awe sad poem ji xxxx
No doubt, saying goodbye is a hard step to take..but then the alternative, staying with pain??…You did this so well. Fiction or not..it’s true!!
I loved your words, but glad they were just a way of expressing an emotion. Thhe world is full of happy families.
Saying goodbye is always the hardest thing to do, Jingle. Nicely written.
But every goodbye means another hello is just around the corner.
Jingle,
Short and sweet just like some relationships.
Thanks for providing the explanation.

In the prime of my years of feeling the most heartbreak I would have loved this poem…plastered it on my apt walls…carry it in my back pocket…everywhere to remind myself that I, too, can be that strong!
College years…I needed this poem to reflect strength in the face of heart ache…Awesome poem lady!
Departure meets the end of many a romance. Nicely done. Every poem should channel something, and is more rarely concrete and personal. I don’t think you should have to clarify that to the reader. Better to leave them guessing!
Thanks for inviting me here, Jingle!
My first poem was about me, the second one no! But it would be kind of funny if people thought I stole a boyfriend’s car!
I didn’t think your poem was your current situation, but I can definitely see why someone would as it conveys a lot of emotion. It was great!
this is whimsical sassified!
