Love’s Cruelest Tax

Love’s Cruelest Tax

written by: Jane Bradshaw

 

Capture that smile, one more time
Before the
Grim
Takes it from us

Hug, like there is no
Tomorrow
Because
For her there isn’t

Chase the rainbow
Hunt it down
Magic
Abounds where it ends

Dream, a dream of
Past hope
Eternity
That we can never have

Would you go back
And change her
Existence
To escape the pain

No – never ever would
I do that – she’s
Transcendent
Love’s cruelest tax

The camera clicked
Over and over
Snapshots
Are all I have now
