Inner Woman
Ending

Why didn’t he answer

home phone to voice mail

cell phone to voice mail

he answered last night

we talked

I love you

He said more than life

he was here yesterday

we had an amazing day

me in recovery,

the surgery over

the pain was

bearable

I’d have a new leg

in another few weeks

Where was he?

He promised to be here

He’s never let me down

We texted last night

Gotcha he said

He’d beaten my score

for once

I love you

good night

I was stuck in a hospital bed,

I couldn’t go to check

I had to wait for word

Panicked I called

mother went to see

I’m sorry my dear

he’s gone for good.

He passed earlier this morning

his heart gave out

and now what do I do?

my champion is gone

thirty four years

right down to the day

yesterday,

His heart was so weak

I knew it was worse

I saw the signs

I hoped he’d hang on

to give me the strength

Why now?

Couldn’t you wait?

Left me alone

To make my own fate
