EYES MEET
FEELING HEAT
TENDER PASSION
DESIRES OF COMPASSION
LOVE BLOSSOMS
BUTTERFLIES AWESOME
FLUTTERING NOURISHING
FLOWERS FLOURISHING
FLOATING PETALS
NATURE NESTLES
WITH POLLENS OF SCENT
ATTRACTION OF TWO MEANT
THE BOND IS BOUND
WITH RINGS OF ROUND
YEARS OF JOY AND BONDING
UNEXPECTED ILLNESS SPAWNING
FINANCIAL CHALLENGES
HEALTH TO SALVAGE
CONSTANT DECLINE
WILL ALWAYS DEFINE
EMOTIONS HE ONCE HAD
ARE REPLACED WITH ONLY SAD
FEELINGS OF GUILT SHE HAS BEARED
KNOWING HER ILLNESS HAD WEARED
MENTIONS WITHOUT ANY SPECIFICS
SHE UNDERSTANDS HER POSITION
TO LIBERATE HIS HEART
HER EXISTANCE MUST SUBVERT
THE BURDENS SHE BARED
ARE NO LONGER SHARED
THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED
FOR SHE TOOK HER LIFE
ON THE TABLE BESIDE
WHERE HER BODY LIED
WAS A NOTE
SHE WROTE:
“OUR LOVE WAS TRUE
BUT I ALWAYS KNEW
THE DAY WOULD ARRIVE
SO I HAD TO ABIDE MY TIME
THE BURDEN I BARED
I WISHED NOT TO SHARE
BECAUSE TIME IS PRECIOUS
AND ALWAYS MOMENTOUS
I WANTED YOU TO REMEMBER
OUR LOVE TOGETHER
BEFORE THE UNWILLINGNESS
OF THE ILLNESS
PICTURE BUTTERFLIES
AND BIRDS AS THEY FLY BY
THOUGHTS OF WHEN
WE’RE TOGETHER AGAIN”
