"Break"

You break my heart.

I wait all day.

Just to hear tell... a moment... of your life. 

But you rush away... leaving nothing.

A few crumbs perhaps... discarded from your hands.

I bend to pick them up... thinking....

I was once a proud man.

You fight me at every turn.

Ignoring what I have said or written.

Passing over that... which I deemed important.

And yet I stand waiting for your return.

Wishing... hoping... believing.

For what some may say...

will be heart break in the end.

But I listen to only one friend.

My Heart.

When the heart chooses, nothing will persuade it otherwise. Touching read, painful even Randall.

Thank you, Chris. You chose the two most important words, "My Heart." The words that fell before it are simply what it must resolve over time.

I once hoped and wished and believed only to be disappointed each time. Life is funny that way. This is very well written. Oh, I like the song too.

[Randall]

Thank you, Lighthouse. You're right, life is funny that way. That's when you have to strip down and swim across that proverbial lake. You won't be disappointed when you reach the other side, there's always something new waiting.

Randall...

P.S. Just make sure you know how to swim....:))

[Lighthouse]

Advice well taken.

[Curly Grace]

Your words rise like a small prayer from the center of the wound...
a heart choosing its own light, even in the dimness.

[Randall]

Thank you, Curly Grace. The heart is always right.

You are a true Romantic R, and highly to be praised for it. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[Randall]

Thank you, Red. Romantic, I smile at that compliment. They say it takes one to know one. And to think I didn't even go to Oxford, I couldn't have gotten through the front gates to mow their lawn with the grades I had in High School. :)))
