No longer am I your Number One.

I am not the Soul Mate that was

melded to your heart’s center.

Another has claimed you.

I wait on sidelines,

but won’t be called

back to you.

My heart

grieves.

About the Creator

Rulam Day

In another life I was a pirate, a race car driver, and a spy. But those are stories for another time. Rulam Day is an anagram of my name, Mary Daul. I publish under both.
