Rachel
This is such a heartfelt write. Congrats for placing in the challenge with this beautiful Acrostic :)

Floating on the breeze
Appearance is only an illusion
Lonely heart she hides so well
Lifeless she falls to her destiny
Eternity of sorrow her curse
Now and forever to be alone

This brought tears to my eys. The agony of being alone. Sometimes death seems more welcoming.

As she floats on uncertainty
Never an easy path to tread
Gone is the comfort of true love
Efforts are only in vain
Lost love of the fallen angel

Losing love is one of the wrost pains our hearts ever have to endur. You have captured this in your words. Great imagery and word choices.
Excellent Job!
Love Cindy

Overall it isnt too bad but someone at the age of 99 could have put a little bit more time and wisedom into it ;)!

"Eternity of sorrow her curse"

could have been 'An Eternity of her sorrow curse'

"Gone is the comfort of true love" ???
