A smattering of a truncated thought. A portion of a one-way conversation, held in 100 words or less. The last remnant of a topic that no longer needs be discussed, here or elsewhere. Inspired by a reality more surreal than fiction, my latest prompt mash-up – this one being between 100 Word Song and Light and Shade Challenge.
As always, I hope you enjoy…
“I’ll always love you.”
A white lie, one eventually bloomed to black.
“Whatever. You never listened to me.”
Listened? My very life was a response to your words.
“I wanted you to be free.”
Than why’d you cage me?
“Shut. Your. Mouth! Without me, you’d have crashed.”
With you, I did.
“I’m doing this for you.”
More white lies, a wedding cake’s full.
“I know you’re ‘unhappy…’”
This isn’t going to make me so.
“I know you’re gay!”
It wasn’t me who left our marriage-bed for another man.
“Whatever. I’ll always love you.”
A white lie. One no longer worth holding true.

I love the intimacy of this. The dialogue not only speaks to the song but the realness of the people.
Thank you for giving this to 100 word song, I’m honored.
Lance, I honored that you haven’t blocked me from Leeroy’s joint yet! Thank you, brother.
Magnificent powerful as always my friend!
