Together They Did
Young Libby fell in love with Ben however it became hellish - their darkest day - but she survived and grew from the experience.
————
Ben took Libby down new roads
Coloured with adventure
Such gratifying moments
As the king and queen
He with jet black hair, the singer
She the love and support of his dream.
Three years evolved and things unravelled
A child that wasn't,
The road show's now mundane
Jealousy, complexity, numbing conflict.
Libby, unspoken, captive to all
While Ben, reluctant, no mastery
Of the responsibility she so needed.
Libby learned it hard and tough
Life was harrowing, painful, no fun,
The end of what she'd known.
Yet some years on Asia opened her.
Wiser. Consolidated, she emerged
Bittersweet with lessons, fine memory
An Amazon in the clear light.
