Poem 3 Written September 2021

She stands alone
Where one once stood beside her
Her thoughts are dark
A moonless night
Without stars.

Their future was once so bright
A lifetime
Of forever.
Now it is just hers
As she stands alone.

They say she is strong
She knows the truth
Hiding underneath
Her mask of smiles
As she stands alone.

Her days are like
A murky puddle
All blended together.
No one to share with
As she stands alone.

Her voice is quiet
A whisper in an empty church
No one to share
Her secret thoughts
As she stands alone

At night she lies
In her too big bed
Tossing and turning
Like a boat in a storm
As she lies alone
