You Were My World
I had never truly known romantic love before you
Certainly not being one man’s only desire in life
Our relationship was all consuming
It was sadly destined to end in tears
The tears became fresh again with news of your cancer
I felt relief that you were working during your remission
I prayed so hard that you would live
That you would find love again, marry and have children
So much kindness did not deserve to suffer
You reached out for the last time
You lied you were not in pain to spare me
You were gone a week later
At only 30 years of age with only four ex-girlfriends to your name
I will love you to my dying day
Man of Mystery
After so many years
She realized how little she knew about the man in front of her
His heart was not hers for the taking
It was borrowed like a library book
She knew what annoyed him
He made no secret of it
His sanity had been lost along the way
Perhaps buried with his late mama
How much time does it take to discover so little
