Fun while it lasted

So sad the song, of what might have been

Before happy, on somber wings

Became time's cruel mistress

And mourned. Sadly, she strummed

Tunes of rued goodbyes

Wept Adieus

Tear-filled verse

Friendships

Lost!

    There's no bitterness here, just sadness, and it's rather graceful.

    The hopeless feeling you are able to portray in this nonet is so heartbreaking Novel... I'm left feeling hollow from this well portrayed break up!! 💚
