It shapes the way we touch, the way laughter hesitates, as if the joy is held up, waiting for an invitation to return. In quiet moments, it surfaces, a crack in the mirror, reflecting all the things left unsaid, unfelt, undone. We carry it in our pockets, like stones worn smooth by time, turning them over, each memory a dull ache. Yet in the heart’s tender space,...]]></description><link>https://frostyicequeen1.wixsite.com/laurel-steele/post/_hurt</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0f20ee2b5c18841b9380bb</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 15:19:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/de159c_24f9ce5d18164d8484b6d58837bf55c5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Laurel Steele</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Broken Heart]]></title><description><![CDATA[The silence screams where laughter used to play A hollow echo where your voice would stay The world is painted in a muted grey Since love departed, taking light away. Each dawn arrives a stranger to my soul A heavy weight that takes its bitter toll I drift adrift, beyond my own control A fractured ship, upon a stormy shoal.

A tender place, so deeply bruised, By words unkind or actions used. It lodges there, a heavy stone, A solitude I bear alone. The memory whispers, sharp and keen, Of what has been, what might have been. A hollow space where joy once bloomed, Now by this bitter chill consumed.
