Numbness
By the time I learned you were unfaithful, I died inside from the damage done. I wasn’t even mad or disdainful. My mind was frozen, my body numb. It was either a cruel, vindictive joke, or painful reality to live with. My response to the trauma was to cope and to blame myself for all…

Heartbroken Sonnet
The floor stripped beneath you, your world at a halt. No one understands you, but it’s not your fault You’re frozen in place, caught in a whirlwind. Your will to live slips away, you lose your passion. One foot, then the other, adapt to the change. Keep pushing onward, until you reach a safe place.…
