Carefully packed up our emotions

Marked the end of an adventure

The fate of loves erosion

The cost of surrender

The hearts explosion

Far from tender

We watched as

Love burned

Out

    Beautiful piece. Well done, once again.

    Commci, Commca. This French phrase came to me when I read the poem. Please picture a little cedilla under the second 'c'.

  • Love is so fickle; no one deserves to be with someone who doesn't value who they are, as they are. Wonderful bit of sad but true, Kelli!

  • Love the analogy. Fireworks are exciting.., but not long lasting. Great job.
