There will never be another.
For you grip what remains of my heart.
There is no longer space for anyone else, for only you dwell there.
No one will ever understand my loss.
For they never understood our love.
I'll cry myself to sleep for the next few months, weeks, then days
But I'll still convey daily as if you still remain with me.
For you my love is eternal; until death shall I retreat.
If you should ever find a new love, I'll turn and walk the other way
Mourning for your loss in that widow way.
For myself always be true, worthy of the love I have for you
Even if you never see, for there my heart will always be
To be alone forever; never will there be another
For my love is gone, and I'd rather die alone.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
