Widow

Dazed, I kept walking

Forgotten, I kept looking

Alone, I kept smiling.

 

There were no stars

But I wished on them

There was no sun

But I sat under a tree

There was no marriage

But I wore my ring

 

I was gone

But people kept talking to me

I was lost

But no one gave me directions

I was dead

But nobody buried me.

Wow...I'm almost speechless. This piece is very simple, but oh so powerful and deeply touching. The sense of loss is painful and blunt and doesn't allow the reader to be comfortable with it. Great work once again.
