I can hear Bonnie Tyler singing her hit, “It’s A Heartache.”

 

Incomplete

Limp, I am broken,
a ragdoll incomplete,
our love was spoken, unspoken,
but an emptiness speaks now,
of your sudden departure and all is so  dry.

    Often the greatest heartache is the emptiness felt in the interlude between spoken and unspoken. Beautiful emotion in your lines. Thank you for sharing.
