How Can You
How can you
Be with somebody else.
When all I have is a ghost in my house.
How can you
Sit at the table
And serve him
His favourite meal.
Do jigsaws and crosswords when able.
Now I can't even learn how to feel.
He steals your lips
From me.
Contentedly sips your tea.
And holds you through the night.
How can you
Now I'm out of sight.
Do you cry
To music with him.
And laugh at movies we favoured.
Does he
Keep his body in trim.
Is his breath
Always fresh mint flavoured.
Does he
Show you more affection.
Swing more in your direction.
Are his manners
Impeccable and slick.
How can you.
You make me sick.
