Darkened teardrops
silenced wails,
blackened hearts
drooping sails.
Missing cradle,
vacant grave,
discarded soul
wasted babe.
Talents lost
life unlived,
aching hole...
Author notes
Title also works for last word, in case you did not get that. I was thinking of including it, but alas...that would be 23 words.
