A shoulder that once br supported weight. br Sheltered a lover’s head. br Now forsaken br cannot carry own. br br A silhouette never meant br to stand alone. br br Fades into darkening br decadent desolate backdrop. br Whilest future breaks br into broken tomorrow. br Reason lies groundless. br br A shoulder soothed once. br Supported weight. br Consoled a lover’s head. br Now forsaken. br Reason lies groundless. br br A silhouette lives on alone. br br br Copyright © Terence George Craddock br http: www.poemhunter.
