In the beginning, there was only one love,
my true & strong warrior sent from above!
We shared many joys & great memories …
it was only 1yr … but felt like a century.
Much laughter & love, our time spent was splendid,
but shortly we knew it would be abruptly ended.
Time wasn’t on our side …
this was caused by a big surprise …
his ex-girlfriend began with her drama …
yelling & lying…that brings bad karma!
My Love could only take so much …
so he decided to begin to judge.
He felt very angry … just about to burst …
when suddenly a thought came to mind first …
“Let’s not re-act & cause more drama.
I’m on probation and will fight the temptation.”
He made the wise choice and didn’t re-act …
walking away, he never looked back.
As we all know, some ex-girlfriends like to start trouble …
uh oh! We’re in a jumble!
She had the nerve to call the cops …
saying he hit her & caused her to drop.
When she got the “law” involved …
she forgot he wasn’t around;
no one saw an incident …
this wasn’t mere coincidence!
He made the right choice & walked away …
but in R.I., someone needs to pay.
There my love went…falsely accused,
more time in jail gives you the blues.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse …
something horrible occurred … what am I cursed?
A few weeks went by & I was missing my lover …
to soon realize I was losing another!
Dad “hid” this from us for quite a while …
dying from Cancer made him hostile.
The cancer was taking my Dad on a horrible journey
that seemed not to end for an eternity.
Still on my mind was my Love falsely accused …
it was now my time to see what I could do.
I somehow was able to get a good lawyer.
His name was Art & he definitely did his part!
While counting Dad’s days & while Art was at work …
I finally realized how much I was hurt!
Falling harder each day, all I could do was to continue to pray.
I was all alone & very weak …
my only strength source was not in arm’s reach.
All that night I tossed & turned …
wondering if my Love was also concerned.
I awoke the next day to some really good news …
my Love was found innocent… no more singing the blues!
Instantly we went to the I.C.U.,
to show that we care & say I Love You.
My Dad looked at my Love right by my side …
gave a small grin & said his goodbyes.
It seemed like Dad waited for him to come there …
they said their goodbyes … he was gone by sunrise.
It was sad & beautiful at the same time …
I felt confused & started to cry.
My Love was there to help me stay strong …
but I thought it be better if we didn’t stay long.
While holding Dad’s hands … I noticed the sun …
I then realized that it’s only begun.
Being with the Lord is what Dad wanted indeed …
who wants to stay here and continue to hurt & bleed?
3 more yrs. have flown by …
and things have gotten worse … I can’t deny.
Major foot pain everyday … caused by bone spurs I can’t dismay.
Nurses, Specialists, & the family Doc …
I’ve tried it all & I still limp around the clock.
My LAST choice was to cover the pain …
so here’s where it gets pretty insane.
In time I was taking more & more pills …
they covered the pain & even my blues.
I made the wrong choice & became too discreet …
this made my addiction greatly increase.
It has now been 5 yrs. & my Love knows the truth …
his girl is an addict with the opiate blues.
Always understanding & helping me a lot …
I would like to re-thank him cuz he’s all I got!
Thank You for caring & understanding my pain …
Thank You for being there through all the migraines.
YOU are now my best friend … you carry with you a piece of my heart …
you tattooed Dad’s name right from the start …
just so you know, that means a lot & I promise to you that I’ll never depart.
In closing I’ll say … before I was blinded by all the pain.
Having you is a blessing … I can’t complain!
Be there for me & I will be there for you …
because no one will ever TRULY understand how I feel for you!
I LOVE YOU BOO
