Null and Void
A Poem by
Kelly Scheppers
Null and Void
the
gravity
of
your words
weigh
upon me
like
snow
on
redwood trees.
you
stifle
my
resolve
with
silence…
a
droning hum
that
extinguishes
the
breath of me.

why can another do this to us...
we can love so hard that the result of unrequited love is a hard death to the emotions we thought were as strong and tall as the redwood.

A most beautiful analogy. Thank you, J!
Words have extreme impacts on us sometimes and the closer we are to people the more those words can bite

Perhaps more so when love is involved. Thank you for your perspective and kindness of words today.
