My Forever 'Trick or Treat'

Poem about thinking you have it all and having nothing.

MY FOREVER TRICK OR TREAT   



I thought my world had ended when I woke from that surgery, but no, my heart was beating, strong though pained.

And then, I saw the scars;

they change what you think you are,

and I thought, 'No one will ever really love ME again.'



Forty-one days in that hospital, 

a doctor saying, 'You're so young and lucky to be alive!'

A selfconsciousness I'd never known,

and scars I could live without

made me wonder if I'd been so lucky to be survive.



But then I met you two years later,...

and disliked you the moment we met.

The times that followed our first kiss

held a love I will never forget.



You claimed you would love and protect me forever,

if only I'd say I do.

Now, the heart valve has a mind of its own again,...

and I'm nothing but a burden to you.
