Once was enough
To have me fooled.
I’m over it.
My heartbeat cooled,
Hardened by reason
As it ought.
I may have loved,
But I shall not.
Now beckons
The reality of life.
I craved adventure,
Yours is strife.
So as the night sky clears
I’ll find yet
Whence listless hunger’s end
One can beget.

Absolutely amazing, i love it
Thank you, Will of Heart. When I looked at the portrait there was both sadness and determination in those eyes. A mixture of vulnerability and strength. It tempted me to ask what she was thinking and in my mind’s eye she said : “Right then. Enough’s enough.” It made me smile, so I decided to give her a story.

Ha! That’s cool; I love how you pulled the words out of this portrait. Gives it more depth.
And naturally, I thought of the old quote: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
How wonderful! That is exactly the quote that came to mind when I first saw the portrait too.
This was a new departure for me. Usually I write first and then search for an image second, but I came across this portrait and something about it called me to give it a voice.
I am glad you thought it gave it more depth. There is something in the eyes that speaks, although I’m sure it may whisper different things to different onlookers.

Hell hath no fury.
So funny. Apparently that quote is a paraphrase of the original. I used it as the comment of choice when I posted this on FB and a friend sent me a link to let me know that I used the wrong quote lol
