There is a pain that runs deep to the center of my soul
The pain of loving you, I cannot say it enough,
Do enough to let you know, to lose you, is Death
My heart could not withstand the grief, my soul, the tearing
If we two were one before, the now is, one is one
No fear is greater in my mind, than you would leave me alone
You,who have been my mortal rock, my heart, my life
Love that came late, full of hope and dreams
Bountiful laughter, joy in being, my broad shoulder
Do not let this pain separate us, this illness beat
Our royal WE,The one: One True Love, Forever Us
Spouting like a teen in angst, hormones fugue-ing
No,if you should die my love,in heart so would I
While they medicate your pain, I'll keep mine.
Ann to Ed
Author notes
The royal We is when a royal refers to oneself as if speaking for all.

Whoosh!
This is such a torment. My prayers are with you and Ed. I hope he is home now safe and sound.
Thank you for entering.. There seems to be several personal references to things that may not make sense to an outsider like me like the phrase with one and One capitalized. THis seems almost to be an anguished prayer and it would be difficult to edit it but you may want to consider for the contest to clear up any confusing bits. -
Ed is better he passed what they counted as a crisis, so when he can tolerate food he can come home, they said two days. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you for your prayers.

You really captured the hurt of losing a loved one, and knowing there is nothing you can do to prevent them from slipping away. Well done -
