Wings severed
Beauty extinct
Insufferable pain
Overwhelming loss
Loneliness ensues
Marooned in this familiar, sullen chasm
Forsaken
Exorbitantly formidable of old
Beseeching passionately,
he abstain from desecrating her heart
He occupies the totality of it
Vulnerable
Cautioned of her compulsion
Of an unavoidable erection of a confinement
A reprieve
Conversing failed
A butterfly habitually furls
Presently inept
Bequeathed infrangible oath
Till death do us part
Genuine love, profound
Departure proves fatal
Lacking desire to flee
He being her light, earthly savior
Yet the shears
Incisive
Caustic
Consisting of steal
Unbendable
The butterfly mutates, becoming iron
Ensuring steal cannot wound this delicate butterfly further
She perceived him rubber
Devastated, misled

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
