[hometext] => I had to write a series of sonnets for a class...while everyone else wrote about soccer and puppies, i chose pain and heartache yeah! part 1 of 4
[bodytext] => The frail old woman stood alone Back braced against the pounding rain Tears falling freely, but not easing the pain She stared vacantly out at her broken home The fire’s rage destroying all that she owned Her weathered memories were all that remained And a battle-scarred conscience still shouting out blame She could still hear the flames crackle and moan Her husbands cold body they carried away After years of devotion he was out of her life Grief and exhaustion were now taking their toll As a blood red sun ushered in a new day And she wept for her husband, this heartbroken wife Because his last breath left a void in her soul.
