Monkey (to Bean)

One of my

Favorite things is

You as child

Monkey they called

You not because

You resembled one

But because you

Scaled trees there

You’ve always been

The monkey to

My gorilla just

A couple of

Primates that people

Admire in public

JustTheLove

And in darkness

Your voice bleeds

Memories of past

Laughter and ache

Sometimes someone does

Get in to

Even the hardest

Heart cold after

Years of betrayal

Here let me

Lift your spirit

To love again

Don’t be afraid

Of the heartbreak

Because the heart

Knows no pain
