30 Day Return Period Expired

(a sequel to @Fly10 , Returned Goods)

I am afraid we are closed for returns for the day.
This item can not be restocked, anyway.
It has grown in the light of your wonderful self
So large it may not be returned to the shelf
Where it sat for so long under cobwebs and dust.
I am begging you please, reconsider you must!
For your ramparts shall soon be a prison, instead,
And your heart, left to starve, shall itself soon be dead.
Such a hideous fate, this I can not abide,
For to see your heart wither, my own shall have died.

Tornado and the calm sea. Mean the world to me. Spin around. Then, settle down. A laugh from a frown. Tornado and the clam sea. Mean everything to me. Twist around. Then, calming sounds.

Tainted

I once held a precious treasure, a fragile beauty in my hands. A prism of reflective pleasure, with gentle radiance it shone. It was formed with compassion, in a furnace fired with love.

A past of gold, A future of dust, Only takes little to fracture The glass of the trust Bond. May the good times be merry but the Coal dust smears over the Painting leave it black.

Awww. But remember, just because someone chooses to close their heart to one doesn't mean haven't left it open for others. Fly10's post was about making healthy choices 😊

I somehow missed this one, & only picked up on it following your repost. Touching & beautiful-enough to make a frozen heart reconsider in earlier times...alas, I fear it is too late😔

@Fly10 Thanks for the repost! Your frozen heart comment reminds me of the John Hiatt song "Icy Blue Heart." you should check it out. And keep that heart active, it keeps you young.
