I go to bed at the crack of dawn,
but I wake up and you're already gone.
With no more than a blink, it all ends here.
My vision is clouded with my worst fear.
My heart drops when it won't go through.
I triple check and hope it's not true.
It's hard to see what I don't know.
With shaking hands, I'm forced to let go.
I’m left with regret of what I’ll never be,
and I’m sorry I’m not anyone but me.
The sun dips behind the trees
along with the chance I'll never seize.

A sad but beautiful sonnet about being left. So well written it pulls at the heart strings and for that awakening of emotions it deserves a fave
A poignant and touching write, being abandoned leaves so many questions unanswered that then turn into guilt and self blame, beautifully written piece
Abandonment is one of those things than stubbornly cloys… in my experience I try to distract myself or divert my energies when it begins to appear. Good write ✍️ 🙏🏻🕊
