I’ve noticed your attempt at
Subtle vocabulary,
To encourage
Without
Allowing me to fall.
You’re too late,
This has always been
What I do best.

AN ATTACK OF LOVE
Sudden sneak attack
All my defences were breached
One casualty

Ben, I’ve been in this exact place before. Two ways to look at it..the positive beautiful, the negative complete sadness. Thank you for this…so good!

So this poem we should just throw away. I’m doing well, Staci. Truly okay. Sometimes when writing I don’t even recognize the poem. I was obviously channeling someone. Channeling sounds funny, but you know what I mean.. thank you!♡

Could be the case for me. My dad nicknamed me Grace growing up because I fell all the time. Funny that.

Self-reflection nearly always sounds self-deprecating. We don’t see our strengths – but others do.
It took a lot of courage to take command of your life and start over as you did.

Thank you, Shari. I actually hoped to convey a message of falling in love or lust, but I may have missed the mark. Either way, you build me up with your reply.
