Challenge of the Week LXXXVI
Write about a blessing in disguise. A cloud with a silver lining. A time when an obstacle turned out to be a boon. Poetry or Prose, fiction or nonfiction.
You Promised
Friends since long ago,
Holding on to life,
Telling each other not to go,
Helping end the strife.
Then I got a call,
Raced to the bridge,
Couldn't catch the fall.
Down you went,
Then up you flew,
I felt spent,
Holding on to you.
Tears filled the sky,
I went to our spot,
To sit down and cry.
There you had tucked,
A fortune for me,
And wished me luck,
Because you are free.
Clutching the money,
The light paper bills,
I hugged myself close,
And sat very still.
You are gone,
But you left me,
All that we live for,
It's not funny.
"F*** A Silver Lining."
