Deprived

I wither as I wait, but any hope I had is waning. My darling - my sunshine who once nourished my spirit with so much tenderness and care - days have become weeks since you’ve called me. Loveless now, your thirsting rose is dying.

Andrea, you've captured the essence of waning hope. The interesting thing is how time has stretched out for this person and that line is also wider than expected. Amazing how having fun can advance the clock. Hope you are well.

This is very sad. Your words show deprivation well.

Sad etheree, Andrea, but a nice one. Even when love abandons, memories linger on.

This is so heartfelt and poignant sweet andrea! You surely can do this theme well! And i was thinking of doing a double etheree too for this contest!

Sad etheree Andrea but a good one for the contest theme. Always hurtful when a cherished lover abandons
