They die
I leave a ruined edge
They leave with someone else
Tectonic plates mismatched
grate life on time's most vicious rasp
Some people never find their mates
left anonymous to pages
The empty internet
all their beauty fed to air
watching others celebrate
their joys their moments
I struggle on
Alone
My girls did give me a lovely 70th birthday at the ocean. I will always treasure the memory and their efforts to make me happy in a beloved setting.
