My lover and I broke up. Mutually for the most part of it but I have never felt so completely broken in my life. The competition said one word....this was and is the only word on my lips and in my mind.
Post script: this image was taken a few weeks ago and I (and my ex-lover) are both much happier now. I promise :D
Very sad, mournful pic made doubly so with the words. I'm happy that things are better for you (both) now. Just had another look to fully appreciate the artistic lighting and feeling in the eyes - great memento to have in the years to come.

Wow, gosh. Thank you for that. It is a haunting image.
DeleteStunning . . . takes my breath away . . . makes me want to reach out, but knowing that I can't. I am glad for you that time has made things easier. And isn't that just one of the nice things about time? Sometimes it helps heal, sometimes it makes us thankful for things we've had, and shared . . . and hopeful for things that may yet come to us in the future.

Sorry to hear you're broken :-( *hugs* xx
ReplyDeleteI think the comforting hand on your shoulder is very powerful and despite that hand you appear to be very isolated too. Powerful and thought provoking image

I really have no words for this. To me, this is the winning photo!

Haunting image. The hand on the shoulder says so much, and the eyes look almost fearful.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are better now.
*hugs* and *hugs* Sometimes, rarely, an image will say more to me than words (I am so very linguistically oriented). This is one of those times.

Your word is perfectly portrayed. It is true that the best artists are those who have known great sorrow. {{hugs}}

Sometimes a picture says a thousand words doesn't it! and this one does. Huge hugs

ReplyDeleteRebel's right - you win. Your eyes, thought by many to be the windows onto the soul, show how you feel. We hope you feel better in time.

This picture captured an amazing moment in time. It might not have been a good one, but the emotion that it evokes is amazing it itself.
ReplyDeleteI am at a loss for words (unusual for me). This is just so poignant. Thank you for sharing and I hope that time has made things easier.
