Your words feel like ash and gold in the same breath—
the kind of burn that purifies,
and the kind of truth that can only be earned through ruin.
You wrote not just of love,
but of surrender with no armor,
of a storm that didn’t just pass through,
but rewrote your geography.
And in the last lines—
where others would end in sorrow—
you offered something rarer:
the quiet power of a woman who knows how to break,
and how to build from what remains.
Thank you for writing from that place.
It shows. It holds.
It heals.

That was a powerful piece of poetry. I cannot think how to phrase (apologies) my thoughts - “corrosive cravings, or insidious desires and temptations”
🙏
Your thoughts make perfect sense, Mark. Cravings and desires were the downfall.
Great stuff Rea ♥️ I love how you led us gently to the killer ending…
I picked up the pieces
You left in your wake.
They fit better now
I know how to break.
