How quickly We fall prey to love Devoured whole by the need to be needed No matter how long or high or thick the walls No matter the time spent in isolation building them, formidable They crumble to dust with but a whisper of hope Of love and the needs attached At its mercy Forever. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Contest Number 505 Any Form Or None" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor.

This is so true! Just a whisper of hope, and we crumble. I guess we all desperately need love. This is a favorite for me.
