Sharing Joys When No One Is There

Sharing joys with one you love Enhances that joy tenfold But when they have gone You are left all alone Key in the door To your empty home Wanting to tell them Wanting to share Silence surrounds you It is everywhere No one to love No one to care An empty home for no one is there Emptiness is truly so very hard to bear ~~~~ Sharing joys when no one is there Written 8th September 2020 Contest COMPELTELY YOUR CHOICE (5) Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION

Like Jan, I have that same lump in my throat and a pensive stone in my heart. You have so eloquently described the joy of a loving relationship and the emptiness of separation. So well done! Congratulations on your wining placement my friend!

Loneliness is hard to cope with Ann, those special moments that you want to share with others you can no longer do. Tom. Hope you're well, greetings from Turkey, 34c here and its only 10.20. Looking in when I can.
