Your Dying Spouse 702 - How Far We've Come

It can be interesting, to look back and see how far you've come.

The sonnet below was written several months ago, and so many really bad things have happened in my body since thenn, that it seems like gratuitous chest-beating.

I'm four years past my sell-by date,
and Doc's surprised, how long I've lasted,
but there's a simple way I cheated fate:
I am a tough hard ornery bastard.
Today new tumour in the mirror,
and a joke my wife thought sick;
but, you see, there's nothing clearer
than this road-fork: take your pick:
sentiment can be the heart's kind guide,
and you'll live a Hallmark movie,
or you can laugh with Spartan pride
where even death is somethin' groovy.
If it's further days you seek,
shun the feelings of the weak.

Today I have neither time nor energy to think and write this way.

I just give death the finger, and move on. Way more economical, and less embarrassing.

Music from Matchbox 20, with How Far We've Come.

  2. I was so delighted to meet PRIEST AZIBA after a long time looking for help in order to fix the ups and downs with my boyfriend. We lived together for two years without any problems until this year when he started seeing another girl, When I tried talking to him, he decided to leave me for her which made me so heart broken after all we have been through together, he even stopped picking up my calls and also blocked me from calling him. I love him dearly and couldn't accept losing him that's why I decided to seek help from PRIEST AZIBA through his number +2348100368288, he helped me quickly in one day and as I speak my boyfriend is back to me with lots of love and respect like never before. Am expecting more good things to happen in our relationship.
