A Lonely Star

‘You are the tea leaves I am the tea pot I the tiny snowflake and you the snow’ _Maria Williams days nights now empty how would she carry on without him by her side life had been a roller coaster together they faced it all she's left to carry on they’d been through so much over decades shared challenges life would never be the same they somehow always prevailed because they forever stood as one suddenly she stood alone she's now a dried out star he had been her sky he had been her sky AP: 2nd place 2020 Submitted on February 23, 2020 for contest POETIC LINES FROM A POETRY SOUP POET – MARIA WILLIAMS sponsored by SILENT ONE - RANKED 2ND
