Little by Little by Little

My heart seems to break every day and little by little by little it's chipping away. The pain that I feel, I pretend it's not real, but little by little by little I know I'm falling apart because of the ache in my heart but little by little by little you pull me close tell me you love me most and little by little by little I begin to heal. No longer must I conceal all the pain I feel and little by little by little you stand by my side both day and night drying the tears I cried. But, little by little by little I feel you drifting away like the rest you won't stay. So, little by little by little my heart seems to break every day all over again.

Dear Scarlett, your poem beautifully captures the ebb and flow of emotions in matters of the heart. The repetition of "little by little by little" reinforces the gradual unraveling of pain and the slow journey toward healing. I loved how your words convey the delicate balance between vulnerability and resilience and the transient nature of love and loss. This is such a heartfelt expression of emotional turmoil and the hope for eventual healing. - Blessings, Daniel
