in my empty existence
after you were gone

    Been there, done that, Viv :) I sometimes still have an involuntary stiffled sob when I sigh. All love is gone but a tiny bit of the void remains.

    Your capture of loneliness is so sad, resonating with emptiness. I could feel it.

  11. Wonderful take on the challenge of the day – I like how you capture that loneliness isn’t what we have it is what we are left with…

    You captured loneliness very well here. So sad.
