They accepted her wholly
Willingly acknowledged all her whims
Dreams were linked
Of all the people lonely.
They gave in their more
To call her own.
She could not see through
The love flowing in extremes.
She drifted apart
Cringing all the anticipations
Deliquescing the dreams nurtured.
Acceptance is in both ways
One end cannot adhere.

I like this message, that acceptance must flow both ways, one side cannot do the whole job. Wonderfully expressed.
so sad; definitely she is a looser…however more experiences of the world will open her eyes…beautifully penned…
Thanks for the like n stopping by.
Thank you, yeah it's a two way traffic.
Yes. I agree. It would be good to find acceptance both ways, but dreams are such that one person's dreams need not be accepted by another, and the excess of love feels like many other dreams are being pushed on forcefully. Maybe that's the reason.
Beautifully weaved. I liked your take on the prompt.

Acceptance is in both ways. One end cannot adhere. You said it Ila Ji.
Acceptance is a solace to soul. Nicely worded.
