But what if your wounds
Drained me of blood too?
What if your smile
Warmed my sun and
Brought the sky closer?
What if your nearness
Steadied the ground
Beneath my feet
And your absence
Took it away?
🩹
What if I love you?
What do I do then?
What do I do when
Love is no longer
A fairy-tale myth but
A suffocating sickness?
🩹
I’m smiling at you
But you don’t look
To the clear blue sky
Or the bandage
Hugging my heartbeats
🩹
What if I love you but
You don’t love me?

A Song of Sorrow
I saw him as someone he wasn’t – someone filled with goodness instead of the festering calamity that actually inhabited him. His touch was like lightning, and I’d always loved storms. I thought eyes seeing me meant a heart loving me, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Why I Purchased Some Shares in Vocal Media
Use what you own, and build up that nest egg, regardless as to what the economy is doing at any given moment. For some writers, Vocal Media is a site that is life changing, and for others, it can be quite misunderstood. Investing in Vocal Media shares is not a get rich quick scheme, and neither is being a writer (now part-owner and writer). Everything takes time. Egg hatching is no different to the time it takes for a caterpillar to turn into a butterfly.
