Wowed by her beauty,
Feeling unworthy of her
He couldn’t believe
She asked him out.
He thought she’d think
He wasn’t good enough,
Handsome enough, or
rich enough to be
With her.

The first date, perfect.
Soon love blossomed.
But her three kids
Hated him because
He wasn’t their father.
Her ex husband was
Insufferable and a
Bad boy jerk to her.

Three months after
He fell in love with her
She said you’re too nice
And broke up with him
And took up with another
Bad boy jerk.

Veronica died the day he married her,
Congenital heart disease the cause.
His mind could not accept the loss
Of his beautiful 26 year old bride.
He could not understand why
He’d been punished so severely
By God, karma, life or whatever.
He vowed he’d never love another.

He visited Veronica’s grave everyday
And snuck into the graveyard at night
Because he had to be near her.
When told by a friend he needed to
Let go of his obsessive grieving
He said, “It’s all I’ve got.”
And he shot himself to death
At Veronica’s grave with the hope
Of being with her again.
