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

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
