You say there’s a heaven above
And you’re filled with unconditional love
But I have seen the lie in both
I have seen what you will
And will not accept
That you will only accept me
The way you see me in your mind’s eye
Or if I’m willing to lie down
And die to what and who you want me to be
But otherwise
You never have, nor will you ever love me for me

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

Such a huge part of the human condition. No matter our protestations to the contrary, unconditional love is almost as hard to find as it is to live.
Eloquently written!!! But the heartbreak was palpable!!! Left some love!!!❤️❤️💕
