Sad theme, but the way you wrote, it sounds beautiful.
Full 10 for the rhythm, emotions, structure everything.

Wow, Gwen. This one's rhyming is really seamless. I want to nominate this too but I have run out of nominations! Great work, I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

A story well told within some very accomplished rhyming, which you clearly have a knack for.

Take care,

Ben
