sometimes

straightforward.

sometimes
the things you (don't) say
leave me hanging
off
the
edges
of
question marks.

 

and I wonder:
would you
even want to
kiss
the shells of my
eyelids,
only closed as offerings?

 

did you know that
there are veins
inside?
that my
heart
beats
there
too?

Author's Note

I don't usually write poetry with line breaks.

I can't believe I'm sharing this, but I hope my story helps someone else. My husband left me and our 3-year-old daughter after he found a flirty text from a tour guide I met on my birthday trip to Jamaica. I never intended to be unfaithful, but his suspicions spiraled, nearly leading to divorce…

Feeling lost, I discovered a testimonial from Victoria about Omega Love Temple [email protected]. I reached out to them, and to my surprise, everything changed! My husband returned, transformed and loving, even surprising us with gifts and a family vacation. If you’re looking to restore your relationship, don’t lose hope. Omega Love Temple gave my family a second chance. ❤️

I like how you did the line breaks in the first paragraph. It really highlights what you wanted to say. Great job! I can't wait to see your more recent stuff.

I really admire the depth in this piece! The way you described things was remarkable.it hurts to know that people forget what parts of us are still alive.

Fragile and human. This was a really sweet, sensitive write.

I really like this! The uncertainty and angst comes through beautifully. The line spacing is great, too :)

I loved the line breaks! They added an effect, I thought it was amazing. With so many simple and short words, you sure made me feel something. Great job!
