April 24, 2014
122 nights
since she crept
out of bed
and down the hall
to find him gone
1-2 times per week
they lean out the window
and light scented candles
to try and forget
9 t-shirts
line her pillow
soft with the smell of moth balls
and mens deodorant
8 lanterns
rise into the sky
hoping they get to heaven
5 and a half circles
around the tree house he built
followed by flowers
6 years of treatment
and 5 more than promised
1 load of laundry
it was like loosing him all over again.
