A Letter to a Man with One Ear
Dearest Vincent
I'll never understand how...
I'll never understand how you could do it.
Your heart was so big, never meant for mortal men
You loved too much for us to understand.
I'll never understand how a man so beautiful...
Could take his own life.
We loved you so much
You'll never understand
How you changed our lives
Or how song writers would take your life with such care.
The stars lost their shine
The sunflowers lost their yellow
And the sky lost its glow
You left a mark
I'll never understand...
How such quotes could make me feel worth
Something more than a speck...
On this world
Without the one who taught me to love
like the man with one ear.
From,
A lover, just like you.
