A Neighbour Loved

A Neighbour Loved

 

The weight is falling

off her

and I am scared ..

She is,

after all, a survivor

of cancer ..

Yet she still wants

to dance

like she did in her

teens

and get this ..

Today her smile

remains

just as infectious

as it did

back then too ..

Sometimes,

I feel like yelling

her name

from across

the road and into

her garden,

then telling her

in whispers ..

Oh’ my love on my

word, I swear

I do still adore thee ..
