Refraction on A Rainy Eve
By Linda Imbler

What you were, and what you are

Off-center.

What I remember,

And what I see,

Not the same reflection.

Sweet goes sour,

Taste no longer desired,

Your leaving,

Neither sweet or sour,

Just hollow fact,

Lovers,

Friends,

Enemies,

Strangers exact.

Creating "Refraction on a rainy eve"

In any relationship, when you're done, you're done.

Afterthoughts for "Refraction on a Rainy Eve"

I won't push myself to the person who only seeS me as nobody.

Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.

Marianne Faithfull.

Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Bob Marley
