No Second Helen Poem by Gert Strydom

No Second Helen



I loved a woman
who was beautiful
just like Helen of Troy
and with pills and depression,
she was plagued under my own eyes.

Our love nest became a dark cave
and at times it tore through me
when the sun
was blocked out from the windows
and I saw her suffer there.

With time she hanged her cloak
somewhere else
and I wonder if at times
she catches a ray of the sun?
