A wrecked life - a poem by Chris Zachariou

Woman leans against a cold hallway wall in despair. From the series Melancholy Poems by the Cyprus poet Chris Zachariou.
A Lonely Woman in Despair

A short span of happiness.
I reach out and touch a memory—
a glimpse from another time
of a life that might once have been.
