Sorrow

by Gary J. Lesser (Leo) - Not entered

I thought I saw
Your everything.
Your playfullness,
Your passions and sorrows,
Fluttering your lips with fatigue,
Screams of well-deserved triumph.
I thought I'd seen your everything
So why am I collapsed upon your bed
Crying
Next to your stiffening body.

Reason for writing:

    I dated a woman for over two years who was afflicted with Lupus.  I truly believed that I was going to have to bury her.
