POEMS OF THE ROUGH TIMES: When with goodbye

When with goodbye
I laid you by
and quietly
prepared to die.

I would not let
myself forget
how much I owed
and owe him yet.

Though others may
explain away
their vows exchanged
their wedding day,

indulge wtih ease
their fantasies,
and with deceit,
brief pleasure seize,

quite clear of eye,
I choose to die--
I lie because
I will not lie.
