When last I spoke to Carol I said:
|
"I can't pretend it gets easier."
|
she said:
|
"I've hung on, I have edged around this narrow ledge since the day I was born in 1975."
|
When last I spoke to Carol I said:
|
"I can't pretend I feel love for you."
|
she said:
|
"I've hammered a smile across this pasty face of mine since the day I was born in 1975."
|
When I said goodbye to Carol
|
black earth upon the casket fell
|
she had faded to
|
something I always knew
|
to the rescue
|
nobody ever comes.
