To My Dying Companion

Come sit beside me in the sunshine’s golden rays Tell me what special secrets lie hidden in your heart Things you need to tell me before you from me depart About the things you thought about in our better days It saddens me so that we must go our separate ways You were my everything, my special love, sweetheart The subject of my better poems, the secret of my art There is that part of you that will stay with me always. I want to know you as no one before me ever could Thoughts of you must fill the remainder of my life Give me joy and happiness without you I might lose You have filled me with desire like none other would You were my constant companion, my lover, my wife And forever in my life another I could not choose.
