There was some lingering

On my part that night.

Even though I’d made my bed.

I did struggle, to have to

Lie in it.

It shouldn’t have been…

Like that.

And a Chevy s10

Can have some pretty

Sad tail lights

Under a desert sky.

…

My heart held on

Because it had to.

To grieve you

Completely?

Well,

I would’ve died.
