Poem Title:
Poem
Becky, I believe that I am dying. I feel the icy angel hovering near. Our time together swiftly now is flying And I must leave you all alone my dear. Becky dear, I ask you now to hold me. Freely I admit that I was wrong. I really should have heeded what you told me. Temptation never did find me that strong. Becky, please forgive me as I say this. You know I never meant to do you harm. I thought we’d go no further than that first kiss. Always I’m a slave to gentle charms. Becky dear, I ask you to remember. I know that now it seems so damned unfair. Burning love may fade to dying embers. That doesn’t mean that love was never there. I’m sorry I forgot the life that we had bought Paid for with our blood and sweat and tears. It’s easy now to say eventually I’d pay For all those other women through the years… Becky, I can see that you have killed me. I understand the reasons, never fear. Yet, I don’t regret the love that filled me Each and every time that you stood near. Becky dear, my sight is slowly fading. Once more, please, let me see your smile. I know that I won’t be long in waiting For you’ll be joining me in just a while. There’s many things I’ve done that I’m not proud of. So many as I look back on my life. Now there’s one thing I must say out loud, love. I love you, and I’m glad you were my wife.
