Widows Lament- A poem by my wife, I'm amazed

I remember everything;

So nostalgic I can barely speak

Smelling your flesh sweat and tears

Mixed with your pain; sweat and beer

My eyes are burning and blood red

And every words spilling with regret

May I distract you and kiss your neck and If you let go you might forget...

Both of us tangling in a beautiful mess; A web of lies beating through our chests

I cant take back yesterday; but can change tomorrow if you stay

Your words carving like little knives

But I'm far from ready to walk away...

The daylights creeping in behind your black window blinds

Anxiety's seeping in and I'm long out of wine,

Take a breath and watch it pass sliding your fingers through mine

Forget this past and dry your eyes

This is all a dream.....
