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.
