Depart As One

If you go first I’ll stomp and shout I’ll be absolutely furious I’ll rage and shut out the world That’s for sure But one day I know I’ll come around And actually be thankful Because of the two of us You always said I was the strong one And because I love you I would never wish That bitter fate upon you If we could not depart as one For your sake better it be you I’m more equipped Or at least that’s what we think To unleash my wrath In creative ways Hoping I’ll not permanently drown In the deep black hole Of eternal despair and anxiety When all is said and done I'd hope to delve in the pool of inspiration As I cling to the hope Of rejoining you My soulmate My love Submitted on August 22, 2019 for contest ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX WORDS POETRY CONTEST sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS

As we age(my husband and I) this topic comes up occasionally. I think women hold up better than men but there are some men that keep on going and some remarry and carry on fairly well. My husband keeps saying I hope we both go at the same time and that is possible. I enjoyed reading your winning work. Congrats. Sara
