Pays The Cost Poem by Eric Cockrell

Pays The Cost

Rating: 5.0


fifty years married...
a half century as one.
he sat by her bed,

holding her limp hand....
alzheimer's, and a bad heart,
eyes that didnt know him,

anymore!

he pulled the tubes from
her nose, from her mouth,
from her arms....

and whispered into her ear...
'go, be free...
i wont be long...'

true love pays the cost!

You truly are a remarkable poet. You expressed this so eloquently. A Romeo and Juliet moment if ever there was one.
