Without Her Poem by sherrie tappenden

without her, what would you be?
still my friend? So eloquent,
still funny and so charming too.
my lover and my confidante.

without her, would you stay
and want to be with me?
or run again with all your dreams
and find another intensity?

without her, what would we say
in quiet moments with heads touching?
would you still find the excuses
that make you leave?

without her, what would you be?
still my friend, my make believe,
still crazy and so vunerable,
my lover and my desire.
