Especially these empty hands
With nothing but lonely left to hold
^^^
Love these 2 lines Jenn.

Names they wrote in the sand
Now washed away
^^^
Great lines Jenn. I could picture the names in the sand slowly washing away.

Really enjoyed this read Jenn. Makes one think and remember .... a place we have once been.....

And now you're on my list of favourite poets. I'm blown away by the honesty of your writing.

"Especially these empty hands
With nothing but lonely left to hold"

These are a couple of my favourite lines, I always love poetry that talks about hands, I'm not entirely sure why but there you have it. Again I have no improvements to suggest for this poem, it's stunning and has inspired me beyond belief. I can't wait to read more of your poems.
