I loved you
Loved you so
But I did not know
You did not love yourself
Through prevarications
Debts owed, unpaid
Ducking obligations
Coffers emptied
Through cancer, its scars
Surgeries in series
The liabilities of life
Time to run away
So much to evade
Treachery self wrought
Unescapable results
Two shadows trailing
Consequences prolonged
The inevidable end
The obligation custodial
Could not hold it all in
Your desire to be loved
To not lose that love
Made our charge, yours
And adversaries of all else
Soon your shared time
Will pass by with age
Then the fabrications
Will lend no comfort
To take pity upon one
Grief a daily companion
The confederate of regret
They keep poor company
Self loathing in silence
A flood of thoughts pour in
Inevidable interlude interrupts
Never to reclaim the losses
