he said he loved me and then ignored me all summer long he said I was the only woman for him ever and then ignored me all summer long he had his wicked way with me (okay so he held my hand and kissed me on the cheek…) and then ignored me all summer long huh! some summer fling this turned out to be…
I feel it would be only fair to tell you summer was a Wednesday the year I was 6 years old and Mark kissed me in the playground at interval. Sadly, perhaps even at the age of six, he had already been educated in being shallow (as all boys seem to somewhere along the line) and he left me, though I can honestly say not for another “woman”, but because my parents split up and my dad wouldn’t make me ricebubble cake for play lunch so I couldn’t give Mark any…
Ring ring… ring ring… ring ring… Click Hi. Mummy can you come home already? Dad cant make lunch properly and mark… Sorry DAD we’re CAN’T not MAKE home right now but leave your LUNCH name PROPLY and AND number and MARK we’ll get back to you… BEEEP: DOESN’T LOVE ME ANYmore…
this is great. I love what you did at the end. Leaving a message in between the words of the answering machine. I hate those things but I hate voice mail worse. Great depth here. Excellent. Liz

As an adult I have even felt that as I would be so excited to tell someone something that I didn't notice that the Hi was just the machine picking up because they weren't there for me. I can't imagine how that would feel to a child of six. Much lose there. Good write. Lady J
A delightful rendition of a memory; reminds me of some of my childhood "encounters." Thank you. Love and peace,

Yay, has the makings of a youths first type of novel..
Great opening line, and such an aire of innocence...
I can epathise with mark, I gave up Marie, for Julie, Julie always sandwich spread, which she swapped for my marmite, we were in love till I discovered my true love...Football, at age six...
Your soul and emotions come forth in dynamic lines of pain, Cedric. Today's generation is growing up faster than we did, back in the day: scary to contemplate. Excellent poem that "not really a poem, per se". Powerfully poignant.

beautifully wrought out with precision memory.. funny the pain[s] we recall and how it treats us with such blunt force trauma.. this was like the deepest of echoes, reverberating from your mind's eye

Aren't children so effectively grown up these days. At my age 60 years ago, being young, I did not even care to look at a girl and considered them hindrances. I began having interest in them at fifteen. Today it is so different. Delightful poem. But not all men are the same, though I would admit the majority are. Victor
"Sorry DAD we’re CAN’T not MAKE home right now but leave your LUNCH name PROPLY and AND number and MARK we’ll get back to you… BEEEP:

We Will Stone Him is a raw, unfiltered trauma memoir about surviving childhood abuse, emotional manipulation, and the lifelong wounds that follow. This true story marks the beginning of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, John Gambacorta and his survi
She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!

We boys are just very slow learners, and our attention span isn't very good either!
