When Your Wife Dies Before You Do

Every tender moment
Soft
And real
That will come our way
And all the betrayals
I have yet to lay
And
All of my questions
That received no
Answers
Were not supposed to be
Answered
Not now
Or then
Only later
When I’m old
And confused
When I’m shaking
From fear of
True loneliness
Because she died

Before me
