Hurting Hearts Do Heal
A Poem
This poem is an offering from a prompt by Annelise Lords Is Kindness Enough?
This Prompt is asking: If kindness isn’t enough to change and improve a heart, what will?
Be creative, innovative, and truthful too. Write a poem to show how imaginative you can be.

Within any relationship, she just could not win.
