Broken Hearts Gallery Literary

We’ve all been there. Somewhere along your path in life someone or something has broken your heart, and maybe like me, you’ve held onto the detritus left in its wake. If so, this is the literary project for you.

Maybe You’re There, Hidden in the Pink House

Ask her about the drawing. Force a smile when she explains it’s daddy. Ask where mommy is. Choke down your tears when she tells you mommy isn’t in the picture because she’s always at work. Hope one day she’ll understand the sacrifices you made for her.
