The Heart ... It's Culpable!

 I post this poem in solidarity with all who have lost a deeply-loved someone, irrespective of the relationship and the reason for the loss.

I hope this poem encourages kindness, compassion, understanding and empathy towards those of us who are living without a much loved someone.

I tell you a story, but it's up to you, to read it as fiction or read it as true ... I tell it in rhyme ... I tell it in verse, but thoughts on this matter, I'm sure are diverse. :-D
