A Sad Christmas
A Sad Christmas
There was a time when passion ruled their life
But time and ailments stepped in to betray.
She never felt she'd be that aging wife
But as years passed it just worked out that way.
He was still giving, faithful, kind and true.
Like siblings now, no romance was a part
Of a sad distance that between them grew.
She felt remoteness deep within her heart.
She tried to fan the flames with poetry
Yet discontentment shown upon his face.
Her rhymes just bored him, it was plain to see
No romance for her lingered, not a trace.
She tucked away her love filled photographs
Resigned that dreams would be her epitaph.
