For Love

by Nancy

A rage of pain

Life

Swept away

In her tears

Her pledge

Ransom

For me

For my world

~

That I might

Sleep away

A hopeless Forever

In numb denial

As she will live it

At his side

In his bed

For loving

Me

How shall I

Continue

Bereft

At fault

Imagining

I can be no less heroic

Generous

No less

Tortured

For love

Catherine

For you

My only Love

for H
