Days passed without care
Until wrinkles around the eyes,
Being on the wrong side of half-life;
Turns All reflective.
Pleasures foresworn aching,
Almost as bad as Pleasures grasped;
When the time was wrong.
The Childhood Sweetheart,
Who first seized your love;
Still will make you curse,
For lack of access to their pants.
Others came later,
Sometimes One of You were married;
It making no sense now!
I apologize in advance to all who would think this purient. Truth be told, it be simply an tool to signify all lost moment.

She never felt safe at home as a young girl, and didn't understand why when she finally escaped she wasn't safe in the big wide world either ...effectively jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
Sepsis knocked her down and out. Faith, hope, and gave her the strength to get back on her feet. I am a Runner She fought the river of death They said she'd never run again
She proved them wrong...
