"a dream within a dream,

a woman walking blind." - What wonderful verses. They say so much about the way a woman loves. Beautiful poem

Dorie, your words make the heart ache and persist at the same time. Even in shattered pieces, you show that love refuses to let go.

Ow... “always stepping on / shattered glass” is such a cruel little image, Dorie... And then you end it with “But still, the heart insists.” Yeah. That’s the whole fight right there.

I love this metaphor. And the imagery of stepping on shattered glass. So brilliantly written, Dorie.
