Sometimes I wish there was someone else,
Or you, when you still wanted me.
I am alone in our bed
With you sleeping beside.
I will stay faithful
To a dead hope.
We are changed
Without
Change.

'Or you, when you still wanted me.' is so heartbreaking. Great nonet!
This is beautifully written and so sad. “Faithful to a dead hope” is just brilliantly painful.
'I will stay faithful -To a dead hope.' - what an excellent couple of lines in this nonet! Great work as always Hannah!
With that was a bit of a gut punch... that second line literally took my breath away.... really hope this isn't autobiographical! 💚
What a tragic nonet. Really lingers on the last lines. Very well done, Hannah!
just ouch. All the ouches and all the sad emojis. This is really good...but I kinda hate the feelings around it. Love the writing, not the context? Great work, as ever, Hannah!
Excellent Nonet… especially: “ I am alone in our bed With you sleeping beside.”
It's sad when love wanes...
"I will stay faithful to a dead hope", that line hit me so hard because I do that shit 😅😅 Loved your Nonet!
Such a great first line and it gets better (worse) from there. Such an accurate reflection of lost love - brilliant Hannah.
'We are changed without change' is one of the most insightful things that I have read in a long time, Hannah. Wonderful Nonet and a real competitor for the challenge in my mind. I figured you for a 'seeker' the very first time I read you on Vocal, but that line puts you at a whole nother level.
"Faithful to a dead hope." It's such painful phrase. Well done.
Yikes, sad, and familiar to many I am sure.

Love this
Some dead hopes need to be buried, but it’s so hard. Excellent nonet, Hannah!
Ah, this is really a tough read. 'Changed without change' such an ugly meaning :( Beautiful work, Hannah.
Staying faithful to a dead hope is so heart wrenching. Amazing nonet.
This is so sadly perfect
