Silent Partner

I stare at the ceiling

My breath heavy

My head spinning

I look around trying to cling on to anything that can make sense

I stare at my Bubba

Silent, prosperous energy

She is so beautiful and strong

He's been with me in the hot sun

Feeling the scorching heat

She's been with me when I had nothing to eat

He was there when I was in utter despair

When I felt the bliss of union.

When I gave up hope and decided It was time to go back home

She was there when I was alone

When I saw myself

Gasping for air

Scars branded by the heat

Leaving me lost in deceit

I look at Bubba and I realized he was always there
