Poem Title:
Poem
This is the story of Frank and Rose Frank would seem an odd man Rose was just Rose They didn't have much money but valued each-other more than wealth They'd watch a sunset together and wonder on the miracle of life They didn't have many friends but they didn't have many foes They redefined love and this is how this story goes Frank worked hard but never found his niche Rose always so proud of their little luxuries They lived for each other because nobody else really cared Both hurt and abused in childhoods they had So they faced life as a unit A unit that no other man or woman could break They found joy in each-other and could laugh 'till they cried They held hands in the daytime and hugged all night They found joy in the little things like a walk in the sun Perhaps wonder on the beauty of the blackbird song They did everything together and would physically ache when apart They cared so deeply for one another and never wanted to part Then one day Rose had news for Frank Life was gonna change and it was out of their hands A tumour that that didn't care how much damage it could do There simply wasn't anything the doctors could do One night in the darkness under the light of the moon Rose said to Frank that she was scared of the dark Frank said he was there and would never leave her alone in the dark She cried sometimes most of the night Frank glared at the moon and swore he'd never give up on this fight One night, in a dream she started talking to Frank He listened to her voice shaking, scared - in her dream she was alone in the dark! Frank tried to wake her to break this nightmarish dream But she carried on dreaming and then started to scream Days passed and she grew weaker, nights wouldn't pass in peace Frank remembered her words and the promise he made to set her at ease Rose had to die but Frank had to live This split in their time together was the cruelty of love and such a blow for life to give When she couldn't move anymore and stayed all day in bed Frank would be there with her talking and reminiscing about the good times they'd had He had everything ready each night at the side of the bed He knew when the time was nigh; he knew on some sixth sense So one night he took the tablets and went to sleep with his love You see Frank made a promise to Rose that one night before so that she could sleep A promise to the love of his life that he had no regrets to give He promised she'd not face death alone and he'd go with her holding her hand like a sunny day in the park. He swore to the moon and the stars that she'd never be alone again in the dark.
