Bloodied by passage
through the imaginary rubicon
dividing emotion from logic,
leaving you stunned
at the intensity of grief experienced.
Trying to divine how much tolerance
of bending before breakage ensues
leaving pieces watered by tears,
fed with fertilizer of heartbreak,
grow into excuses for surrender.

Here great metaphors combine in a single image of loss, sadness and pain. A wonderful write that deserved more reads
Well thank you so much. I have always believed that sadness, unfortunately, has the best adjectives.
