Yesterday we laughed.
A golden gift of LOVE!
She blessed my heart with optimism,
an answer from my God above.
But today I cried;
bewildered by the change.
Grasping for definitions
of concepts out of my range.

I wade through salty tears
which fall on deafened ears
yet STILL,
i WILL
to re-ignite the fire...
which fades from her desire.

And tomorrow I go on: STRONG!
Looking forward, never back.
For without her love....
tell me, "What else is there?"
To help me bear,
with a world unfair & slack?

I miss her dearly! She's my MUSE.
and to simply BE..........
without her hand in mine---------I REFUSE!
