Before Sweet Pea
Drawn to
The irresistible kind
She with Him
Him with Her
The bright stars brighter
They enter stage right
Exit stage left
Burdened by
Helplessness
He wouldn’t
But he did
Abandoned her
When in most need
Bi-polar
Away from the public eye
But a life
Not long enough lived…
“Let nothing that can’t save you get near you my sweet pea.”
“Mother! You’re joking? Of course!”
“Am I sweet pea? Look into my eyes.”
Hauntingly, she was dead serious.
“For no one who remains in power lets their defenses down. It’s a cruel world out there my sweet pea.”
