Distant love

Distant love

For Quinn

 

I think I am jinxed.

I lost my favorite brother,

I lost my favorite sister,

I lost my best friend - all - to death.

I lost my two favorite bosses

Luckily, this time, not to death,

But to their job promotions!

I am living away from my two children.

I have learned either not to love anybody

In fear of losing them,

Or, just to love people from a distance.

So sorry for your losses....

the last three verses of your poem make perfect sense!

I have learned either not to love anybody

In fear of losing them,

Or, just to love people from a distance.
