Heartache At Stake

Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated. - Alphonse de Lamartine (French Poet and Statesman)

much too much to take

bake me a file in a cake

there's heartache at stake

Author's Note

"All a man's strength and all his weakness go to make up the authority of any particular opinion which he may utter. He is strong or weak with all his strength and weakness combined. If he is your friend, you may have to consider that he loves you, but perchance he also loves gingerbread." - Thoreau
