Sometimes I wish there was someone else,
Or you, when you still wanted me.
I am alone in our bed
With you sleeping beside.
I will stay faithful
To a dead hope.
We are changed
Without
Change.

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.

'Or you, when you still wanted me.' is so heartbreaking. Great nonet!
This is beautifully written and so sad. “Faithful to a dead hope” is just brilliantly painful.
'I will stay faithful -To a dead hope.' - what an excellent couple of lines in this nonet! Great work as always Hannah!
With that was a bit of a gut punch... that second line literally took my breath away.... really hope this isn't autobiographical! 💚
What a tragic nonet. Really lingers on the last lines. Very well done, Hannah!
just ouch. All the ouches and all the sad emojis. This is really good...but I kinda hate the feelings around it. Love the writing, not the context? Great work, as ever, Hannah!
Excellent Nonet… especially: “ I am alone in our bed With you sleeping beside.”
It's sad when love wanes...
"I will stay faithful to a dead hope", that line hit me so hard because I do that shit 😅😅 Loved your Nonet!
Such a great first line and it gets better (worse) from there. Such an accurate reflection of lost love - brilliant Hannah.
'We are changed without change' is one of the most insightful things that I have read in a long time, Hannah. Wonderful Nonet and a real competitor for the challenge in my mind. I figured you for a 'seeker' the very first time I read you on Vocal, but that line puts you at a whole nother level.
"Faithful to a dead hope." It's such painful phrase. Well done.
Yikes, sad, and familiar to many I am sure.

Love this
Some dead hopes need to be buried, but it’s so hard. Excellent nonet, Hannah!
Ah, this is really a tough read. 'Changed without change' such an ugly meaning :( Beautiful work, Hannah.
Staying faithful to a dead hope is so heart wrenching. Amazing nonet.
This is so sadly perfect
