Jessica Wood
You had given everything
you had
to a woman you loved
without hesitation
without reservation
with hugs and kisses
when she had contagious rashes
with jokes and cuddles
when she was furious
That woman happened to be me
but she did not know
that’s how much you had loved
until you left
So I have to live
with your sorrow and tears
and a smile
knowing we once loved
