Sense Sonnet - Acher

Lonely Heart

I am a person who's alone.
Valentine's Day reminds me so.
My loneliness is all my own.
Of marriage, I can speak of woe.
We were so long, husband and wife,
Living the ups and downs as one,
Through sixty years of married life,
So much sharing of love was done.
But as with all life, death did come
And tore the two of us apart,
Leaving me a living lonesome,
With just one lonely, broken heart.

Perhaps my heart will heal in time,
But for now my life's a sad rhyme.
