It was romance I was after
Candlelight and care and love
Intimate moments
When eyes meet eyes
And skin touches skin
But all this world had to offer
Was emptiness and lust
And the craving for what should be
When what was held out
Was everything
That it was not
Poems and Petals

It is sad when you see so much more behind a connection but realize…. that it was only you who saw it. You said that very clear and poignant here, Vonita.

Thanks Erika, that is always the risk when there is more than one person involved.

This makes me think that there is always one person that starts off wanting it more. I often wonder what that does to the other. Such a beautiful piece here.

Such a sense of giving up. I like sad poetey. Some people don’t work out but I hold out hope, since it is how I keep going. I hope this was jus a past broken heart. 🙂

I have up and down days Robin, started on a high today, and then my mood just sank half-way through! I guess that’s why I write, it is an outlet ❤ Hope you having a good day?
