I Love-d You

Loss

The day he moved out was terrible -
That evening she went through hell.
His absence wasn't a problem
But the corkscrew had gone as well.

To give this some context, this heap of discarded household items sits in my next door neighbour's garden, left by the previous owners. The house went up for sale earlier this year after the couple split up. I hadn't seen the teddy until today because there was a rather portly fir tree blocking the 'view'. The new owners cut down the tree yesterday. They've still got a lot of clearing up to do - the garden was used as tip it seems.
