Your love lived in every cell of mine
Our souls and genes still intertwine
loss of you nightmares crush my mind
no peace from them I ever find

When he scared you I felt your fear
if he came you kept me near
Protecting me from all his harm
his handsome anger, rage and charm

Such a little while together were we
just long enough to teach me, me
you taught me every word I said
the grief still screams throughout my head

In every way you put me first
gently corrected me at my worst
aware of your suffering waterless thirst
things left unsaid so full dam burst

Gone when I was so small and young
left out in the cold, my coat undone
by my beautiful, dreamy, temporary mum

You taught me all I know that’s good
would you know me now?
I hope that you would. x
