A Reflection on Love
Always love lingers, yet never for me
A Reflection on Love
Some people get money,
some find love divine,
A once-in-a-lifetime treasure,
truly rare to find.
But what happened to me?
I’m left with none of the above,
Just empty echoes
where I longed for love.
I watch as others flourish,
with joy they can hold,
While I’m searching in shadows,
feeling tired and cold.
No fortune to claim,
no heart to embrace,
Just a quiet longing
for that warm, tender space.
What happened to me?
Was it fate that was cruel?
As I wander through life,
feeling lost and a fool.
In a world full of lovers,
I stand here alone,
With a heart that still hopes
for a love that’s my own.

Rage
Content Warning: Domestic Violence, Assault Rage D. A. Ratliff “Who did this?” My voice echoed through the house. All I wanted was a cup of tea, but one of the twins, running through the house like maniacs, knocked it over. My nerves tingled, and every muscle in my body felt coiled like a spring. Survival seemed out of reach.

This is so beautiful and heartfelt ❤️
We all search for this idea of love, and sometimes it is right under our noses. Good job.
