My Love

Note: This poem is slightly based on a true story.

Your love will stand the test of my life time,

The love of my life,

Killed for fighting and standing by the righteous,

At gun point never silent him,

Given pen and paper to write hs last words,

I believe in you, he wrote

Live life like it’s your last day with me

“With you i lived my greatest moments”, he wrote

“I’ll die with your Mona Lisa smile”

Years later, I love but not fully

My smile is wide, but as wide n joyful as when he..

I laugh out loud, but not as loudly as when he..

My love was robbed from me,

By an act of violence that scarred so deep

Now at 90, i smoke to get closer to the end

To reunite with him

Young ones, love hard

Embrace each moment thou share together

Cuz this kinda love comes once in a life time.
