Then and now















Some days
just remembering
how much you loved me
oh, how you loved me.

I didn't imagine that.

And I loved you too
adored you, in fact
still do, in fact
but there seems to be
no fix
broken trust and dishonesty
the twin nuclear bombs
of relationship endings.

But I miss you still
and I love you
oh
how
I
did.

Still.

The Big C

You know what

I can't even cry

and 

sadness 

is more of 

an intellectual exercise 

than anything.

That fucking cancerous hell

is here 

in the life of 

someone I love 

and 

there is 

nothing 

we can do

except hunker down 

and wait 

for the storm 

...and his life...

to slowly pass.
