Notes About The Poem
When My Life Changed Poetry Contest. Sponsor Kai Michael Neumann
Still Paralyzed
Time wasn't on her side, for if it were, I'd still be alive
Time caught up to her and strangled her, strangling me
A hangman's noose wrapped around our necks,
snapping them like brittle winter twigs
I breathe, but I died when she died
When the stool was swept from beneath her feet,
My whole world changed
Our world
My mind, my life, my wife- gone
I feel bit, bitten bad, bitten by a venomous fang
Paralyzing my motivation to exist, to think and to live
I have nothing to live for and everything to die for
It should have been me, not her
I was the bad bone, for so long...
The hard egg turned soft
I did everything wrong
Until,
She did me right
She was my catch,
my snatch
She was my dream
She was my everything...
and more!
She done me right
And she was the light
that shined the light
That set me right
and straight me right
My lovely wife, gone
My only life, gone
And just like that...
my whole world
changed forever
I wept yesterday
I've wept today
And I will weep again...
in all my tomorrows
Until,
I can't weep,
no more
