Poem Title:
Poem
His wife left him in intensive care After saying her last good-bye She just couldn’t stay with him in there For the moment he would die They were married for over thirty years He wrote lyrics for love songs Words that would bring women to tears To a beat you can sing along Her best friend sat with him instead So he wouldn’t have to die all alone She leaned down and whispered near his head “Please write for me a last love song” “Write for me a love song, before you pass away Your soul may go to heaven, but your words right here can stay Write as if the romance we did not share, was a part of our life I wasn’t burdened by matrimonial cares and you did not love your wife” They were lovers in thought alone Never unfaithful to their spouse Often in each other’s home But never alone within the house She always thought his songs were written With thoughts of her in mind Especially those about lovers smitten The Romeo and Juliet kind Though they never spoke to each other of love She could see it in his eyes She wondered what he was thinking of And what he felt deep down inside “Write for me a love song, before you pass away Your soul may go to heaven, but your words right here can stay Write as if the romance we did not share, was a part of our life I wasn’t burdened by matrimonial cares and you did not love your wife” He died later that night Without ever waking again With the only one in sight His wife’s very best friend She shed a tear for the loss Of a friend and fantasy Pleading on his death bed “Please write a last love song for me” She reached inside her pocketbook For a Kleenex to wipe her eyes And found a piece of paper Much to her surprise Written in his handwriting Was a note of just fourteen words “There is an unsung love song in my desk, Your request I have heard” “Write for me a love song, before you pass away Your soul may go to heaven, but your words right here can stay Write as if the romance we did not share, was a part of our life I wasn’t burdened by matrimonial cares and you did not love your wife”
