what then IS life? ....
a place
where
sooner or later
disaster
befalls
some one
I love ....
and for whom
I've had
for some internal tensions
of my own
too little time and care
too scant
affection ....
and
am left
with loss
with guilt
with memory
with regret
time lost
and
responsibility ....
.... betrayed
