Jeez!

I can't hear the telly 

for your bubbling belly!

Stop being horrible! You know I get IBS

Aye, Irritating Belly Sounds!

I laughed

She didn't 

Her cheeks glazed with cherry red

But, also, the weight loss?

And, you need to eat more! 

You're like a mouse lately. 

Eeek, eeek, She mimics (badly)

She turns, cups my face in her hands, 

kisses me

But, there's a teary sheen to her eyes…

 

That's all I can eat. Sorry.

It's OK

I just feel a bit sick

It's OK. 

My wedding ring's fell off again

I slide it back on

Wondering if it's metaphorical 

Wondering if I can do more

Wondering if we'll ever find 

our way back to before

It's OK. I'm sure it'll fit again soon.

I kiss her hand

Then wander over to the window

Outside seems different somehow 

 

But, the sky is still there

The sun still shines

Clouds drift 

Birds sing

The grass is still green

 

The day looks normal
