I gaze into her cloudy eyes
upon her ash white face,
knowing our love
is on a countdown clock,
and we are just making the most
of the borrowed time we have left.
How sweet it is
that without saying a word,
her golden glow
can still light up the dark,
as I know her love for me
is as deep as it is wide.
Although I have no money,
I am forever in her debt,
for she has been my inspiration to live,
the only thing that was right
when all the world seemed wrong.
And although I have no money,
for the last six years
she has undoubtedly made me rich!
