When the Love Dies

When some people are done, they ask for a fork, but
I'm charcoal grilled and scraping away the burnt
won't remove the carcinogens 
that polluted my heart

I was gone and did not read any poetry the past weekend. So I am trying to get some read today. I am pleased that yours is among what I have read today and I have enjoyed reading it. I hope you have a wonderful week filled with inspiration Barbara. Love, Carol
