    Powerful words, Melissa. I see the red heat, then cold, stark blue. This is really well done.

  • This was so intense and heartbreaking! Loved your poem!

  • I object. I did not such thing (as far as I can remember). Poignant & plaintive.

    It’s hard when someone just left you in the cold dust. It’s a complete let down 😔Still sending you and your family good vibes and prayers ❤️🙏🏽
