She got quit
called me up
spoke with a voice full of sad
she quit me
said it was because I’m sick
did not want
to be my later life carer
like y’know?
I’m never going to get better
It’s a sad day
lost my long time lover
to her diagnosis
she ain’t qualified to give ever
she took a sigh
I’d been listening in silence
you still there?
yeah just about sorry about that
I might apply she went on
y’know for a grant or something
for what?
well y’know as a black lesbian
disabled long term sick
who has lost her lover
there must be a grant somewhere
so’s I can write
find a reason to live don’t you think?
It was about then
I knew she would pull through
