about the poem
Navigating love's choices and their indelible consequences, this emotional journey delves into the profound impact of heart-driven decisions within the realm of freedom.

A Stone of Despair

I remember it hurt, looking at her hurt,

I recall all too well, her sighs, her subtle alert.

She didn't know what to do, her distress shining through,

As my heart ached for her, breaking in two.

Her smile, a beacon, one I could not dismiss,

When she glanced my way, I couldn't help but reminisce.

With newfound courage, I ventured near,

But truth loomed, a revelation I came to fear.

She made her choice, and it's not me,

In another's arms, her heart rests free.

The consequence of love, her path well-paved,

And I'm left with a love eternally engraved.

I remember the cobble on which I stand,

A choice unrequited, a heart in her hand.

But I'll carry this love, even if in vain,

The consequence of loving, through joy and pain.
