Ashes or Stone?

We waited,
        wanting
longing
        to be.

But when locked
  you turned,

 

              away.

    So few words but so much we can read into them...the heart goes on despite its bleeding until it meets a match to be settled with for ever more.

    I like the title a lot, and I feel it works well with the poem. Will your love stay strong, be vigilant against abrasive reality, or will it disintegrate into ash...a very sad poem Steph. Congrats on the goldie !

    short sweet an perfectly displayed emotion of the tricks that play within our minds. You have noothing to lose by choosing to have faith over impending doom, my sweet stephiez. So whhy not have faith until time comes calling to rewrd that faith or your faith was proven unfounded? 's

    Fear of loving to much,
    dear you are not alone there
    for there are many that share
    this same fear, but not admit it.
