Unwed Widow
Who am I?
We lived together for so very long
Built a life, made many memories
But we never took the vows
Blending us together as a man and wife
We never felt the need for such convention
You were happy to call me ‘girlfriend’
And nothing more
And I thought I was happy too.
But then that tragic night
When the police knocked to tell me
You were never coming home again
And we lost you.
And I lost me.
Left behind with no identity
I was
More than a girlfriend
More than a life partner
More than a lover
But not quite a wife
Sharing years of intimacy, trust and love
But now there is nothing
To define us.
I have become a contradiction in terms
I am an unwed widow

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
