Unhappily Ever After

….be still, be quiet, deafening noise in the silence… ….head spinning, heart racing anxiety is restlessly pacing… ….I’m confused, I’m conflicted in love, I’ve been convicted… ….no hurt, no pain for you I show refrain… ….too late, for debate my words—hesitate, inevitable fate… ….sinking fear, falling tear to never have you near… ….just you and me never meant to be… …no joy, no laughter unhappily ever after…

May the shadows of your current situation swiftly retreat, to dawn’s warm light, so sweet. Sending you strength and resolve, wrapped in hope and courage, neat. Blessing my dear

There are many fishes in the sea. Poem is excellent. First meetings are trial and possibly error moments in life.

I too keep my circle small. I wish you the best of luck in your romantic endeavors. There are still a few roses scattered amongst the wretched garden!
