Like Stone

Bust of Antinous, 131-132 AD, Museo del Prado, Madrid Without a crack of emotionyou stand before me like stoneso fiercely independent – when we’re together, I’m alone I wonder if you’d miss me if I walked out the door? How can you say you love me when I can’t tell anymore? You say it’s not your intention  for me toContinueContinue reading “Like Stone”
