Though it's not easy to say goodbye
The time has come that we have to
This is not the time to cry
(I'll grieve later, alone)
My heart is breaking
But this is right
For me, and
For you
'Bye.
Really, Vocal? A month before my 5-year anniversary, and you've got me writing angsty heartbreak poems?
What if I win this challenge, and then have to explain myself to my Beloved?

Hometown Hero
They say heroes are made in the worst of times, and I suppose they are correct. For the vast majority of my life, I've been a common man. I have a wife and three children. I have always been a God-fearing man, and I've attended church every Sunday since I was nine years old.

Very sad . I had to cry π’
Well-wrought!
This is beautifully done, Natasja. It is difficult to convey deep emotion with such strict parameters, but you pulled it off perfectly!
So sad but beautifully said
