One day, I tell him, I will disappear,
And still he nods his head, and won't expect
My loss to leave him out of sorts, I fear
Complacency will mean I must defect
To distant climes, that he can't recognise;
He may be older, but he cannot sense
That he is foolish, though he seems so wise
In reassuring himself - recompense,
He finds wih other ladies, will amount
To a betrayal, in the end; I'll feel
That there is too much burden in his need;
He has the best intentions, that can steal
The consciousness of who I am, to feed
His vanity, much like a moist, shed tear,
That he will miss, when I just disappear

In reassuring himself - recompense,
Brilliant rhyming lines that bracket revealed meaning in the stanzas fore and aft. Bravo!
