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
