Words as empty as the hourglass shatters Lay scattered across their bedroom floor Hearts drained of anything that matters Crumbled as fine as particles of sand Promises gone forevermore Left no reason for either to demand They pursue counseling if they dare No one cared enough to try anymore Time left nothing for them to share Love watched them walk out the door June 26, 2018 Rhyme Time 4 - 10 Lines Contest by Laura Loo A-B-A-C-B-C-D-B-D-B Second Place

It's really difficult, but once you've tried every remedy in the book and still can't get it right, you have to let it go and try to move on. Love this insightful piece about lost love. Good luck in the contest! Hugs. Pandita
