A Bowl Full of Nothing

                                                                                        Having dropped another stitch,
                                                                                She looked up, from the tear in her shawl
                                                                                           and my word, did she frown ..

                                                                                  What we seem to have here, she said,
                                                                              without a shadow of doubt, is a shed load
                                                                                      of lies, broken promises and vows ..

                                                                                   But hey, keep your chin up love and
                                                                                                just float upon clouds ..
                                                                                She seemed intent on going up and up ..

                                                                          While he, my friend was spinning down
                                                                                     Head first and into an empty bowl
                                                                          filled to the very top, with absolutely nothing

Neville, this abstract write actually for me (and I could be wrong) felt so very sad. For she seems to be settled in her fate. Yet he suffers, knowing he will be lost without her. There is much sorrow the be found in these words and also a sense of one person making peace with the inevitable

Like I say, just my take. But this is a very clever write x
