A Sole Provider
His eyes that run dim with tears like autumn’s fade
Reflect the pain of love's defeated grade.
He invested all, his heart and soul,
In her, his love, his life's control.
He made himself her sole provider,
Trusting she'd stay, his love forever to deliver.
But now, she's gone, and he's left to grieve,
No legal bond, no proof to retrieve.
Bottles pile high, a futile quest,
To drown his sorrow, and find some rest.
But alas, the pain will not subside,
For love, now lost, has been his demise.
A bird that falls, a thousand pass,
Unmoved, unmindful of its tender grass.
So let this be a lesson true,
To guard the heart, and love anew.
