The Mark You Left

This piece expresses the mix of love, hurt, and the marks people leave on us. The wet cement imagery reflects how quickly a small moment can become something permanent. I wrote this to resonate with readers who have gone through a situation of “push-and-pull” love. Most of all, it’s about recognizing when someone’s fear becomes avoidance, and how that settles on the person who was left behind.

Creativity means a blank page stops being silent. It’s shaping something sharp or tender out of nothing, letting language twist, fracture, or soften until it finally is able to mean something to every reader.
