Exceptional a contest entry The Rest of Me by Jessica Wheeler      Lonely Poem Contest Winner

Was it not enough to leave me lonely, wrapped in wounds? You ripped your way right through my very core. Did it not suffice to still my soul and steal my trust? You left with so much more than I could spare. Could you not have shown a shred of mercy, after all? And leave alone, this hole you left in me. Were you not content to leave me hollow, did you have to go and harden then, what little I had left? Was it simply not enough for you to leave? Before you turned the rest of me to stone.   Writing Prompt Write a free verse poem to express the state of loneliness in not more than 15 lines. Lonely Poem Contest Winner Recognized Author Notes Inspired by the artwork in the image. Melancholy, a sculpture created by Albert Gyorgy
