Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 We Amazed Each Other

You are a man, when but a boy

With other boys climbed to the top

With your music, brought the world joy.

Your band broke up, would music stop?

You are a man without your band,

Which was so very hard for you.

Your loss, you could not understand.

And too much drinking you would do.

You are a man who could not cope,

And relied more and more on me.

All I could promise you was hope

You would get better, and you be.

So yes, you are a man, my man,

And when you can't, maybe I can.
