what made you decide to forget me?
my soul loved you first, led my heart
sweet loving connection, ours
then I was left behind
no word from you, none
sobs left me drained
nothing soothed
my heartโs
gloom

Halloween has come and gone, but Autumn is still a great time for a ghostly scare. I love to hear a good ghost story, especially while gathered around a campfire. Who doesnโt? I thought I would share a few of my very favorite Short Stories of Horror.

Beautifully sad Nonet.๐ฅบ Sometimes, I doubt thereโs a good answerโฆ the person probably doesnโt even understand what went wrong.
Your poignant expression captures the depth of emotional turmoil with honesty and grace, great job, love it!
Thanks for sharing the background info on Nonet, as this is new to me. Nicely crafted melancholy nonet.
Such heavy sadness. Well done, Andrea!
This nonet sounds like a Dear John or a Dear Jane letter to me trying to explain the why but cannot. Good work.
โWhat made you decide to forget meโ - relatable! ๐โบ๏ธ Great job Andrea. Have a swell day!
Love'em and leave 'em. People. Sigh!
That's what people do, they always leave. Loved your Nonet!
The mystification in that first line.
Somber but beautiful nonet, Andrea.
