My desires lay buried under a shroud of mistrust.
My resolve, firm.
Hidden feelings will be anchored there.
Not even the strongest of wills can worm the truth from me.
The walls remain.

I love the conviction in these words! Very strong piece of writing!
Thank you very much!
Nicely done!
(Made me think of a metaphorical Cask of Amontillado.)
Wow…thank you. 🙂
great word choices
Thanks Lance.
I’ve admiring how your writing is getting tighter and stronger
Thanks so much….I appreciate that!
And therein lies the irony. Mistrust can build the strongest walls. Well put!
Thanks Kymm. 🙂
It can be difficult to tear down those walls. Wonderful word choices here, especially the visual this line creates… “buried under a shroud of mistrust.”
Thanks very much Tara!
Well worked words, wonderfully… Sorry, got stuck on “w” for a minute.
I really enjoyed this piece! I’m constantly in awe of the writers who can do so much with so little.
Thanks Matt….I really appreciate that! 🙂
What Lance said. You’ve been doing some really impressive writing lately. 🙂 I love the last line, the way it flows out of the rest. Really, really good piece.
Really solid writing. Thanks for linking up.
