The Six
Mommy:
When you abruptly left me
on that cold October day,
your voice was ever silenced,
but I still had things to say.
Daddy:
When you followed in her deadly path
that sunny day in May,
you escaped your sorrow,
but so much was left to say.
1st Husband:
When you stole from me and robbed me blind
so that you could have your way,
I was rendered speechless,
there was nothing left to say.
2nd Husband:
When I needed you to listen,
your scorn turned me away,
mute in isolation,
I wandered far astray.
Young Lover:
The next eight years I listened
to a ranting, raving fool,
an underlying madness
that you brandished like a tool.
Twin Soul:
But now, no words are needed,
we can read each other's minds,
my love, my mate, my soul-twin,
until the end of time.
