Willa
Who could blame you honestly
a life withdrawn so hesitantly
I know why you go
the pain you left
but you do not see how I am bereft
I fear your absence
I fear your loss
if you should leave
With no word
Such a sorrow
for a bird
You fly so high
I cannot touch
Your feathered breast
Your aching soul
For if I could
You would feel whole

Allie
I write you often
It's what you said
But not a word, left,
your unsent full
Inbox waiting
Should I contact thee
If what I have to say
Is inviting.
I miss you
I guess I should have said
I miss you I miss you
You are all I have in my head
one day I hope to see
thee walking up my driveway
I hope to smile and find you there
and call Allie as if you never left
Like heavens shine above us
And angels call us home
And straight to heaven
We shall onwards roam

***
Willa
I look for you in sunsets
I wonder if I should call
But all I have to tell you
Is what I must not say at all
I cannot reveal in honesty
how I love thee in this way
How I miss things I've never known
how it makes me feel this way
I wish we were a man and wife
two never looked upon with such strife
an easy life, with thee.
If born a man I hope you know
You would be mine
My valentine
And into eternity we would go
Not a tear of grief or family unknowing
A union nobody would deny
And not a tear in our eye.
