Callous Cosmos, Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)
11 months out,
I can scream
I can shout
Callous cosmos, YOU TOOK HER
But it does not matter
Our species chatter
Our clawing in vein
Callous cosmos, YOU TOOK HER
Witness too
My last moments with you
Watching your lips twitch
Callous cosmos, YOU TOOK HER
But I know
What you would want for me
To continue on, to be happy
Callous cosmos, YOU WON'T WIN
I'll still remember
All our laughter
Our singing ABBA in the van
Callous cosmos, YOU CAN'T HAVE HER
I'll remember
As long as I can
Rubber duckies you bought this kid
Callous cosmos, YOU WON'T WIN
Triangle football
Waiting for Breakfast
Or joking with Bob on the net
Callous cosmos, YOU CAN'T HAVE HER
In one month
It will be a year
Callous cosmos
She defies you
Beyond her grave, to me she gave
Happiness and joy
The will to live
Callous cosmos, YOU WON'T WIN.
