There's this guilt That sits Like the world's worst **** In the bottomless pit Of my stomach, and it Is making me sick Like colic, and as The clock tics And tocs That burden rots, It's spoiling my blood And clotting my thoughts And making me think It was all for nought. I ought to start reading These books that I bought, Though none of those I've read have said How to deal with a stranger's Bed that you wake up in instead Of the one you shared With the one you wed, But my love is now Three years dead, And all the girls that Have stood in her stead Are like plastic money; Not worth a cent. But I can't make sense Of how to move on, I just can't believe she's gone, Why did she have to die? Why did her heart give out At just about the best time Of our entire lives? Thirty five is far too soon For a coronary infarction, Let me tell you.
