I usually don't review many of the short ones, Melissa, but you have come up with a really good one here. The picture also goes really well with the poem.

I've found that the reason for leaving can't necessarily be cured geographically, the problems can travel quite well, but there could be other reasons of course, beautifully written Melissa, blessings, Roy

Very true Melissa in any broken relationship. The loneliness of a person walking alone because of this fractured existence is evident from your photo illustration and verse.

Mark

P.S.. Title is shown as "short ne" (sic) - OK or it needs an edit?

This is very true. There is the deed that when it is more fearful to stay than it is to leave I appreciate your thoughts in this. I'm very much and I wish you a very good day and may God bless you. Patricia.

    Thank you Patricia!!! Of course, this verse lends itself to relationships, but I also thought about being in a situation where you just need to leave because it is unsafe, toxic, or really boring. Anyway, just sayin'. :). Much appreciated.

Tipping Point is a great title for this poem which makes the valid point that there is a time when it is harder to stay than to walk away. This is my paraphrasing but it is as valid as the timely point you make that asks the poignant question whether it is easier to stay or to leave and begin another day.

Amen! And as the scale tips, we find ourselves trying to talk our way out of it while knowing it's the right thing to do. Good one, Melissa.

Dear Melissa,
This reminds me of the Gladys Knight and the Pips song, "Neither One of Us." It goes on to say, "Neither one of of us wants to be the first to say goodbye." A sad song and reality brought forth in your beautifully written poem.

Sending you my best today as always.

This is one hundred percent true. And not long after you've made the leap, it feels so good, you wonderful why it took you so long.

Terrific post, Melissa. Xo

I believe this moment is absolutely correct. If we think this is a moral and humanitarian act to do then we do make this choice. I appreciate you bringing this well written thought to our attention.

I've been there, and done that: quite a predicament with tosses back and forth between the two given choices. I in my incident chose to leave: neither decision necessarily holding a right.
