Heart of Mine

 

 

 

I found a photograph of you,

your eyes

a cerulean blue,

tucked inside the pocket of

his favorite jeans…

you signed your name

with x’s and o’s,

with little hearts

dotting each i…

tumultuously breaking

this heart of mine.

You write the discovery of treachery and give it that helpless hollow sound we feel in such a scenario Kelly. A terrible truth to find.

[Kelly Scheppers]

And we instinctively believe that there must be something wrong with "us", right? Thank you, John.

Whoo what a surprise! I couldnt imagine the hurt in that scenario but I dont have to - you penned heartbreak here with such understated eloquence that the reader's heart winces in empathy.
Superb. Kelly thanks for the RR.

[Kelly Scheppers]

No one can even guess as to how your words would work and in which direction. This is amazing. Something which I would not at all associate with a clichéd story of heartbreak.The way your words dance, as if they're literally following your command. No seriously, I love it Kelly.You never fail to amaze me, dearest!:)

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are most kind, dear Breezy girl...thank you!
