Without You

I watched you this morning,
Bald headed and consumed
In a pride
That I once thought you deserved
And suddenly I was saddened
Not by the loss of you
But by so many
Precious tears
wasted
On someone so undeserving
And finally
I thought fondly
Of all that I have to give
Of a wonderful love that you will never know
And that you no longer deserve to know
And I was proud to be who I am
I was proud to be without you
