Sense Sonnet - Acher

Take Heart

My first husband, Bill, was depressed.
He killed himself with his own gun.
One thing that happened for the best -
Bill's heart was given to someone
Who then needed a transplant fast.
His name was Frank, and he did find
Me after a few months had passed,
To thank me. Frank was very kind.
One thing led to another thing.
We dated, then Frank and I wed.
But, when life got too depressing,
Frank just went and shot himself dead.

That heart's been through a lot of harm.
But maybe the third time's the charm.
