"Why do you need to publish this",she said
A fair question and difficult to answer:

I'd like it if these lines were ever read
A message from the now to the hereafter
Though any love for me, you had, has faded
As reality supplants your need for dreams
And your appetite for me has become jaded
As you no longer need me in your schemes
Now you have ended this I must concede
My love is gone so let's not dwell upon it
But let this live whilst yet a man can read
As the bard suggested in his famous sonnet

'So long as man can breathe, or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee'
