Poems.

Fade to Black.

Your love is what puts me together,
with it, I feel whole.
Needing you like my mother,
you contribute to my loving soul.

The absence of lust,
manufactures this life.
To continue, we must.
Life together as husband and wife.

I'll never forget the day,
the day you were lost in the fire.
Devastated, I had no words to say.
living without you, I have no desire.

Standing by the brick hearth,
I cannot think, only weep.
This cruel and horrid Earth,
will not allow me sleep.

I am utterly broken,
lost all might.
All the words left unspoken,
are the pages I write.

Ready to leave,
breathing, I'll soon lack.
I've done nothing, but grieve.
Tightening the rope, I only see black.
