The edges of my world recede;
within myself I have no needs.
When I finally succeed…
from loneliness, my heart bleeds.
“Rescue me” I hear it plead.
within myself I have no needs.
When I finally succeed…
from loneliness, my heart bleeds.
“Rescue me” I hear it plead.

I found your interpretation of the prompt to be very interesting. I enjoyed it immensely. the last line is excellent
“Rescue me” I hear it plead." so many times in life I've heard that, but there have been many times I've ignored it too.. or perhaps couldn't hear it..
Good luck

Nicely done ~ different take of the same pic
