I remember fearing losing you
Who I would become without you
Now I look in the mirror
And don’t know who I am
With you by my side
It’s sad to know
All along
I’d lost
Me

amazing story of the day. Can you please guide me by reading my story?
I agree with Teena...it goes directly to the bones...stings a little too. Yep...relatable and wonderfully human. Cingrats.
Haunting and often applicable to many aspects of loss.
Nice one . congrats for TS
Is it strange that, from the photo and language, I am thinking of a dog?
A very sad truth expressed in just the right way...poetically. Congratulations on writing a winner of a top story-poem!
