between words
she told me
a different story
the one
i wasn’t
supposed to hear
because
it would
hurt me too much
but
not as much
as her lack
of faith
in me
During the next few days, I will be on holiday…yes again…so I will be posting very few comments on your blogs…however I shall continue to post new poems here and hope that you will enjoy them. Until then, cheers!
Read Between the Minds 
Oh for trust …
(I like your treatment of the photo)
Lack of faith hurts more, I agree.
Happy Vacation Charlie. Have a great time and hope to see some pictures too. I will continue commenting. 🙂 Be safe. Bon voyage.
Have a great holiday!
you wrapped this up nicely, charles!
enjoy your pre-gobble-gobble holiday!

in this case, both might have been right, it may not be “lack of faith”; it may be “too much love or pride”.
enjoy the vac charles, and thanks for your poems that get my day started.
this one makes my heart feel a bit sad, but you have that knack of touching something deep inside of me with your words
it hurts to hear the wordless admission of non-trust – for me I’d rather hear it straight up, and be spared the stories
loved the poem!
great photo! and the contradictions of the verse are intriguing.
Really like this one. Undertones in conversation are amazing, and you do a good job writing about what one may pick up in this situation.
Excellent- Have a wonderful vacation Charles 🙂
I have no words for this piece, as I’ve experienced this in my own life.
Wow. It’s odd, Charles: how your posts have such significance in my life. Or maybe I just attach significance to your posts. Either way…I find myself with a lack of faith of my own kind. Thanks for this one. Sue
So true! You really get to the essence of a thing.
I can relate to this ! sad !
