He’s set in stone.
Confident, and independent,
A good sign for a partner.
He came as a breakthrough in a gloomy scene.
He supports wellness when the war inside her is escalating.
He held his wife every morning.
A lasting legacy, set in stone.


Now he left, left her in shambles.
She lost the fight
But the hardships resulted in confidence, independence.
Her story was now set in stone.
A cluttered, yet lasting legacy.
