Stripped naked of hope
she sat hugging knees to chest
sole embrace,
soul distraught,
done with dreams.
Photo in public domain. Misky’s Tuesday Twiglet prompt #6 : “done with dreams.” A twiglet is a short phrase. Or a word. Maybe two. Its aim is to “prompt” a flow. A thought.

That’s why dreams should never depend on someone’s else’s opinion or actions.

Very astute observation, Brian. I think perhaps it’s alright to “hitch” our dreams to another….as long as they do not depend on that other.

It’s so heartbreaking when this sort of pain happens to a person. A very sensitive write, Lillian.
