Romy’s World


She should have not survived the accident 

The lorry driver died 

He was brain dead 

Before and after the crash 

Romy has only one arm 

The other was crushed 

Under the wheels of the lorry

Whilst she was in hospital 

I looked for her missing arm 

Finding nothing but a bunch of flowers

Left in memory of the dead driver 

I stole these sad flowers 

And they were there in her room

When Romy regained consciousness

She loved these flowers 

But hated her injury 

As she felt disfigured 

What neither of us realised 

Was it took our sex to a different level 

As we were both inspired 

By the sight of Romy’s missing arm 

We also started attending church 

As we had done when we first met 

Always sitting under Sole’s painting

The Crucifixion of Christ
