Twice-married, once widowed

I lie beside him
watching him sleep,
wondering why
I have had two (stable, godly) husbands
and so many women
have none.

Why am I so blessed?

Tears puddle beneath my neck
as I keep my eyes
fixed
on the pulse in his.
Which will come first:
will his heart stop before
he gets disgusted with me
and leaves?
