Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Void

July 5, 2026

I stare out into the void,
now will anything ever be the same?
For such anguish has brought me low,
and tortured me,
and brought me such mental pain,
and tears fill my eyes,
and I linger a while,
and I ponder such thoughts of despair that remain,
because I have suffered such hurt,
that you cannot possibly imagine,
and I have lost more than I can ever regain,
and I stare into the void,
for I am in pieces at the loss of you,
and though I try to remember,
though I try to remember your smile,
and your happiness,
in pieces I will always remain.
