STRANDED IN MIDLIFE

Stranded in midlife in a lonely world dislodged,

She was amputated from the mainstream of life,

Her life abandoned in one last dead end street

The empty bottle dropped casually by her side

Fallen from a relaxed hand at her dying breath

Peace never found in this life found in death.
