Growing old without you sounds so scary, but I cannot rid my mind of that thought. And it's almost too much pain to carry, knowing you could not win, although you fought. Your passing was all I had on my mind, my only focus was comforting you. Now, having lost my guiding light, I'm blind to all things, not knowing what I will do. I cannot fathom living without you, although I know it is what you would want. And so, that is what I must try to do, though thoughts of joining you; still subtly taunt. Losing part of my soul's so traumatic, my daily tasks run on automatic. (Sonnet /Lipogram No “E”) 01/01/2023 This was written as an example for my contest, it is not personal,it is fictional.

just great poetic writing; it's difficult for me to compose such poetic Lipogram without “E”; I enjoyed truly
