Second Place

********************************

"The ego within forced me to resist, But now I wish I had effused a love mist, With aplomb and flair, just kind of left it there, For self-aware souls passing by, who choose to pair." Line of Inquiry_ Unseeking Seeker When my true love died this heart broke, I withdrew from life and all love; and from his grave my true love spoke, in dreams came from heaven above. Many times I could have loved but, when my true love died this heart broke; ''I wish I had'' this love bond cut, spending life under a dark cloak. When meeting a man I just choke, wishing I could take that first step ... when my true love died this heart broke, and for new love lost I have wept. But, then I found the courage- strength, though in the dark night my tears soak; will keep new love- give up lament ... when my true love died this heart broke.

a poignant write, dear Constance, and the perfect response to the contest line of inquiry. I respect your courage and understand your reluctance to take that first step. A lovely write. Best wishes in the contest, hugs, Sara
