Memories of You

As I stare at this photograph
One of our twenty fifth Anniversary
My eyes fill with tears
My heart wrenches in my chest
Thoughts dwell on what happened
It was more than just inconvenient
It forever altered my life
Worse
Ripped my life away
My soul was shattered

We have been together through thick and thin
When the gloves were off
Living on Welfare and foodstamps
One inch away from losing everything
We stood by and triumphed
All of that ripped away
One miserable twist of fate
A cruel misnomer of the universe

The best of times between us
Holding hands and kissing your mouth
The occasional Friday morning copulation
No cares in the word, you were my love
You are my love and always will be
I am now but an empty shell
How could life be this cruel
All I have now are a collection of memories of you
