A tear it would bring
An afternoon to sulk through
A stab of pain deep inside
What more can torture do?

Overwhelming sadness
Tired of the mind and of the body
Exhaustion flows through me
How cruel can life ever be?

Endless comfort
An evening to smile through
Undying love and support
What cure can ever outdo you?

Whispers of I love you’s
Hugs to soothe my battered soul
Not a stab of pain but of gladness
What cure can there be other than you?
