The skin burns
and begins to morph,
and her love for him begins to fade
with age.
But the schizophrenic listens
beyond the echoes
and adapts his senses
to gaze at his beauty.
He smiles at each memory
creating another wrinkle
but his soul is warm and at home;
grateful for giving himself
the happy life that she could not give him.
