I found myself holding my breath through the entire poem. Reminded me of the real ending of the little mermaid. This is really sad!

sending you a hug<3

Andrea, although the theme is tragically true, I have missed you and your gift of expression.

Wow! Such a sad but powerful piece. So emotional and expressive it lingers in the mind long after it has been read.

I, too, had the same reaction as Star. I held my breath while reading. The strong imagery and depiction of darkness, is so tangible here. And sometimes, it takes all of us to not sink, but to just stay afloat.

Always here for you <3

No darkness without light and no light without darkness, the oldest of stories and the oldest advice ever given. This is beautifully written, Tragic to read but beautifully written.
