Selfishness ignited the self a destruction of our reputation,
What once brought us joy is now a painful reminder,
We became skillful at spewing hate,
Stirring a pot of toxic emotions we harbored to each other,
But time softened our once hardened hearts,
We slowly began to smile at each other,
Pillow became less harsh,
Compliments were genuine,
All was well until the general practioner's announcement of your terminal illness...
