Through the eyes of love he saw our future 
Sadly he couldn't share...

Countless tanzanite
Some diamonds
Sizeable gold 
And granite

Who expected you for months
Sometimes feeling distressed and exhausted
Though excited, from carrying another Soul

Tummy bulging with time
Cravings shooting sky high

When there was a plot to end it

For loving me
When I felt unloved

For treating me with kindness
