No Honour

You are selfish to the core
It is about you and nothing more
She loved you untold
From her heart of precious gold

She gave and you snatched
For you there was no looking back
It was me who eased her pain
Time and  time again

She loved you wholeheartedly 
Only in death was her disappointment freed
That filled my being with sorrow
As now there is no tomorrow

Sadly, I am indifferent to you l resign
I do not honour you in this lifetime
When you take your last breath
I will not honour you in death

Darrell Rose Date: 3/10/2024 5:40:00 AM I hope you wrote this piece from a point of observation and not one of participation.... I'd hate to think your sweet spirit suffered the pain.... yet.... is that not where so many of our best works come from ? You seem to have a way of connecting the reader, including me to yourself through your words, rhythm, and measure. The subject matter you write comfortably within in is expansive.
