Authors Note: This sonnet was written as part of a university assignment for a creative writing unit. It could apply to any Blue Heelers couple that has ended tragically. I think it lends itself very much to perhaps PJ and Maggie or PJ and Jo though.

The bed is pretty lonely at night time

There is such a vast space here beside me

To miss you, to love you, is that a crime?

This loneliness is so hard, can't you see?

The day you went away, the world stopped

Nothing felt the same, my world, it changed

All of a sudden, my being, it flopped

And everything became so rearranged

They say the spark just went out of my eyes

You were gone and I couldn't get you back

Now even a chance to say our goodbyes

You were now walking on another track

The days are dark without you beside me

But at least now I know that you are free
