As I think back and I see your face

I still feel the pain even now

Passed time does not dull the ache

Nor fill the void you left

I showed you my self

You turned, you ran

Rejected

You lost

heartbreak

About the Creator

Chris Walker

Fantasy/science fiction is my bread and butter, and I have been an avid reader of the genre for as long as I can remember. Inspired by the likes of R.A. Salavatore, Weiss/Hickman, and others, I think of my work as an homage to their legacy.

Ice
Peel the lore from me Until I am nothing more Than creaking pine branches Groaning under the snow, Waving in the arctic breeze.

A Homily
I'm officiating another wedding in September. My dear friend, Alex, is marrying her sweet love, Camille, and I get to give the speech that binds them together in the eyes of the law. I thought I might play with a few ideas here to help me brainstorm and develop the message. I'll skip the boring standard introduction stuff; similarly, I won't include the wrap-up with their commitments and whatnot. Just the goods.
