She responds to my texts

She's the only one who responds to my texts
Cold of July I wish she wasn't with her
ex

Now that am in need
I take time to
reflect

So many nights spent
Agonizing with
rejects

How is a man in heaven
Without his
Head

Hearts are so bitter
It takes time to be
felt

In debts so heavy
I wish she could bring some
Bread

Now my heart is still bleeding
I mourn a dear
friend

Good luck Steve
I hope you find
Rest

For life takes so much from the living
The dead should never
regret

Even if she is the only one
Who responds to my
Texts

Rest in Peace Steve Kibare, the lone sentinel, a good companion and a man full of insights
