A Life Saved In Seven Lines

APATHY filled my days and waking nights, ENCOMPASSED by the PREDILECTION of the moment to moment fights. That CONSTERNATION that filled my heart and soul was heavy, not light. The late evening phone call that helped me regain my sight. "Don't do it, Butch!", was the CONDEMNATION she spoke with its hard bight. The UNEARTHLINESS that must have led her to feel my pain and fright. So here I am, alive still, with a REVERENCE that remains because of her distant yet loving insight.
