A Flame That Once Burnt So Bright

Because of Helen poor
health our love life had 
Suffered over the years
Partly because I afraid of hurting her she had so
much pain I felt so guilty
I'd neglected her over the years
Perhaps I could have loved more but because she
needed so much care I
never found the time I'm ashamed to say
But a few weeks before
she died I was getting her dressed to take her out
she loved to go for tea In
the local supermarket
Helen was a bit hot so she
left her blouse off I was looking at her she was
wearing these lovely black leggings had on and black
bra she
looked absolutely beautiful Helen In her typical way
said what you looking at
Helen then started to
flaunt herself like she did when she was schoolgirl leaning forward revealing I said Helen if you don't stop
​​​​​​doing that I'll come over sort you out
Helen's reply well what you waiting for so I did we had rekindled what had been 
lost all those years but
never did we get another chance shortly after Helen passed away 
I Will always have a sense
of guilt maybe I could
have loved her more but I
never took the time all so
sad far too late for the
flame that once burnt so
bright had now gone out
