Don’t know how to feel about this one, Wendy. This is either very sweet or very dark & creepy, depending on the context— which you withhold as you are wont to do, you wicked woman. 😏
You know me well
I chose dark and creepy and this poem breaks my heart!
Yes – heartbreaking is right!
Yes – a haunting sad poem!
awesome poem! every word counts!
A lovely examination of strength and tenderness. Nice writing, wendyjett.
