Why Cry?
Why Cry?
He’s gone
He didn’t die
He didn’t cheat on me
We didn’t divorce
We weren’t forced by work or travel or job location to split up
It happened slowly – his condition
Not noticeable at first
Little by little it stole him away
Until they said he was sick
But he didn’t seem sick
No physical signs
It was in his brain – a shift – a shrink – a change
There's no going back
But it's slow so there’s time to still be together to still know
It is excruciating to experience the slow drip of the leak that gets worse over time
And exposes the gap and the gaping loss of his brain capacity to be normal.
Goodbye my love
I Cry.
