What We Used to Be
The questions about our loss
When did we lose what we used to be?
Was it when you were away from me?
Was it when I changed becauase I was alone?
Was it when neither of us had a home?
Where did we lose what we used to be?
Was it where we lost all that we had materialistically?
Was it where we had made memories that faded out?
Was it where we were home without a doubt?
How did we lose what we used to be?
Was it by wanting everything we did see?
Was it by ingratitude or insensitivity?
Was it by acting so carelessly?
Why did we lose what we used to be?
Was it because you were as stubborn as me?
Was it because I simply couldn't understand
that there is a difference between a woman and a man?

The Nature Of Strength
When you have a love so deep for someone, that it transcends all earthly comprehension, it makes you see not just love itself, in a whole different conscious perception, but it also causes you to view the rest of life, through that same lens. I have a friend, who has a light inside of her, the likes I have never been blessed enough to encounter, until April 22 2022, when I began my job at a local medical facility, and met her on the job, we were co workers for about a year and a half. The only other instance I have had a feeling that is similar in nature, was the deep-seated feeling of protectiveness which I had for my wife. I feel very strong inner drive, to prioritize her safety, I believe in a large part, to the number of people I have lost in my life.
