Something to Lose. What does it feel like to cherish something or someone with every fiber of your being? Is it terrifying, as though any second it could disappear? Or is it a source of comfort, solid ground to stand on, an anchor? Write about having something to lose. $100 purse to the winner. The best entries will be shared with publishers. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
The Price of Love
To love and lost some say is better than not
Perhaps for some but for others its false
Have they loved at all to believe this rot
Better to lose your heart than some harsh farce
To pretend that loss was worthwhile to bear
The eternal hardship to endure, love
So sweet yet bitter, a dance so so rare
Elation soaring high on the winged dove
It is worth it to love and hold, not lose
To fight for what can never again be
If lost to the void of time so we choose
To continue this dance never to see
The end of it, for the infinite grace
Can never be lost and will not give up
The strength to never surrender the race
Stand strong before all odds our paths throw up
This is what it means to never give ground
The price we must pay for the gift we found
